On October 15, 2025, EHang Holdings Limited announced the launch of an AAM Sandbox Initiative in Thailand, partnering with the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) and local industry partners. The initiative is designed to fast‑track commercial operations of EHang’s EH216‑S pilotless eVTOL aircraft in the country.
The announcement was accompanied by the first sandbox trial operations in Bangkok, where the EH216‑S completed a series of point‑to‑point autonomous flights. Senior officials from CAAT, the Ministry of Transport, and industry partners such as Aerial Sea Ventures, Energy Absolute, Amita Technology, G Capital, China Harbour Engineering Company, Bangkok Airways, VietJet, and Tahira Group witnessed the flights.
Under the sandbox framework, EHang’s local partners will provide infrastructure and operational support, with plans to expand to additional sites in Pattaya, Koh Larn, Phuket, Koh Samui, and other Thai locations. The initiative is positioned to enable the first commercial eVTOL operations in Thailand within the next three months, marking a significant regulatory and market expansion milestone for EHang in Southeast Asia.
