On November 24, 2025, EHang Holdings Limited completed a fully autonomous, human‑carrying flight of its EH216‑S eVTOL in Bangkok’s central business district. The aircraft took off from the Siam Commercial Bank headquarters, carried a passenger, and landed at the same site after a series of take‑offs, landings and a route flight that demonstrated the aircraft’s ability to operate safely in a dense urban environment.
The flight was conducted under Thailand’s AAM Sandbox Initiative, a regulatory framework that allows pilots to test eVTOL operations with reduced oversight while the authorities refine rules. Air Chief Marshal Manat Chavanaprayoon, Director‑General of the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, boarded the aircraft and experienced the pilotless journey, underscoring the government’s support for advanced air mobility.
EHang’s senior vice president for commercial operations, Hu Longxuan, said the demonstration validated the EH216‑S’s emergency‑scenario safety capabilities and confirmed the aircraft’s commercial feasibility under Thailand’s regulatory framework. The event marked the company’s first overseas on‑site demonstration since its November 2024 passenger flights in Bangkok, and follows the launch of the sandbox program in October 2025.
The flight strengthens EHang’s position as a leading provider of autonomous eVTOL solutions and supports its strategy to build a comprehensive UAM platform. By proving the aircraft’s reliability in a high‑traffic city, EHang is positioning itself to launch commercial operations in Thailand and other Southeast Asian markets, potentially opening new revenue streams and expanding its low‑altitude mobility network.
Air Chief Marshal Chavanaprayoon praised the demonstration, saying the EH216‑S’s safety performance was “impressive” and that the flight represented a milestone for Thailand’s ambition to become an aviation hub. CFO Conor Yang added that the event “is a key practical achievement of EHang’s overseas strategy and will help the Thai government and CAAT improve the AAM regulatory framework.”
EHang is scheduled to report its Q3 2025 financial results on November 26, 2025. The company has maintained strong gross profit margins of 61.4‑61.5% and is pursuing further investments in its global expansion, including plans to extend sandbox operations to tourist destinations such as Pattaya, Phuket and Koh Samui.
