Urban Air Mobility News reported on October 21, 2026 that at Transport Expo Asia 2026, Malaysia's Sunway Group announced plans to explore a collaboration with AutoFlight on electric aviation. The article says that announcement is according to an AutoFlight LinkedIn post. This page did not open the LinkedIn post. AutoFlight's English news index, opened on October 26, lists no Sunway item. The newest item on that index is the October 15 memorandum with JC Aviation. The account below is the news report's account of the LinkedIn post.

The article quotes this description: "The proposed initiative includes trials of an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, with potential applications in logistics, emergency response, and passenger transportation. With Sunway’s diverse business ecosystem and AutoFlight’s eVTOL technology, the two companies are exploring new possibilities for advanced air mobility in Malaysia." The words are "proposed," "potential" and "exploring."

What is not established

The report does not say an agreement was signed. It does not call the step a memorandum of understanding or an order. It names no aircraft model, no number of aircraft, no vertiport, no price and no date. Possible trials are not an approval to fly, and they are not a firm order. A separate sandbox announcement the same week involves EHang and Malaysia's civil aviation authority. This report does not connect Sunway or AutoFlight to that sandbox.
