The Netherlands-based Ambitious Air Mobility Group (AAMG) has expressed interest in taking over key assets from German electric flying taxi developer Lilium, which filed for insolvency earlier this year. The proposal includes acquiring Lilium’s intellectual property, testing facilities, and retaining essential technical and certification teams to continue development of the aircraft platform.
AAMG said it plans to advance the certification process and establish a supply chain to manufacture the aircraft in Europe, provided an agreement is reached. Before Lilium’s financial troubles, AAMG had already placed an order for 16 aircraft and now intends to revitalise the programme. The group said it has more than €250 million in available capital for the effort, with potential access to an additional €500 million for future expansion in Europe and beyond.
“We are convinced that what has been developed here in Bavaria is groundbreaking and both technically and economically feasible,” said Dr. Robert Kamp, CEO and senior partner at AAMG. “The Lilium platform is the result of years of endeavour by some of the most talented engineers in the world. We are excited about the opportunity to take this platform forward, invest in and realise its full potential.”
AAMG has outlined plans to collaborate with a network of suppliers, regulatory bodies, and government stakeholders. The group has also partnered with Japan’s AirMobility Inc. to expand into Asia-Pacific markets and coordinate international development, underscoring its ambition to position Lilium’s technology for global deployment.
