Announced next steps from AutoFlight that mention Prosperity (V2000EM).
2026
The CAAC accepted the Prosperity's type-certificate application in April 2024. AutoFlight said on July 22, 2026 the program is in the final phase of airworthiness certification, and the CAAC named it in a proposed first batch of passenger-eVTOL airworthiness-compliant manufacturers (alongside Aridge, EHang, and Volant). That list is a fast-track designation, not a type certificate. Official news through August 23, 2026 never announces a grant, and as of September 14 the English newsroom still has no later item. Certification would be AutoFlight's gateway from cargo into passenger flight.

AutoFlight and Indonesian operator Whitesky Aviation signed a non-binding MOU on August 12, 2026 in Jakarta covering 60 V2000EM Prosperity passenger eVTOL aircraft, with a cumulative potential value of about 1 billion yuan if all stages are realized. No conversion into a firm order, delivery schedule, or entry-into-service date has been disclosed as of September 2026.
2027-2028
Following Prosperity certification, AutoFlight plans commercial passenger operations in 2027-2028 on high-value corridors such as the demonstrated Shenzhen-Zhuhai cross-sea route (~20 minutes vs ~3 hours by car), initially with safety pilots aboard.
