Aena, UrbanV and Volocopter to pioneer Advanced Air Mobility in Spain

The Spanish airport operator, Aena, UrbanV and Volocopter have entered into a collaboration agreement to launch a pilot program to develop an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem.

The program includes developing a feasibility study for the deployment of AAM and a potential proof of concept of commercial operations (CONOPS) of a vertiport at an airport operated by Aena.

Looking to build an efficient and sustainable AAM ecosystem in Spain, the partners will need to gain understanding of the market potential, identifying passenger-frequented routes, planning vertiport locations, and involving additional partners such as civil aviation authorities (CAA) and municipalities, among others. Aena, UrbanV, and Volocopter have the expertise in respective parts of the aviation industry to embark on the creation of an efficient AAM ecosystem in Spain and beyond.
