AirMobility and Skyportz have signed a MoU to advance the introduction of Skyportz patented modular vertipad, the Aeroberm, into the Japanese market. As the commercial launch of eVTOL  aircraft and large industrial drone approaches, the development of vertiport infrastructure is accelerating worldwide. Managing downwash generated during take-off and landing, reducing noise, and enabling rapid response to battery fires are critical factors in gaining community acceptance and enabling the widespread deployment of vertiports.

AirMobility Inc. aims to realize safe and efficient vertiport operations by combining the Aeroberm with its proprietary vertiport automation system, AirVport. Through this partnership, AirMobility will support the introduction of Skyportz's Aeroberm into the Japanese market, contributing to the development of vertiport infrastructure for eVTOL and industrial drones in Japan.

Clem Newton-Brown, CEO, Skyportz commented: "We are delighted to enter the Japanese market through our partnership with AirMobility Inc. Japan is one of the world's most forward-looking markets for Advanced Air Mobility, and we are confident that AirMobility's network and expertise will be a significant asset in deploying Skyportz's technology in Japan."

Hisashi Asai, President & CEO, AirMobility Inc. stated: "We see Skyportz's Aeroberm as an essential piece of physical infrastructure for increasing the social acceptance of eVTOL and drone operations. By combining it with our proprietary AirVport, we believe we can realize safe and efficient vertiport operations where software and hardware work in concert."

Skyportz is an Australian company leading the way in vertiport innovation. Its flagship product, the Aeroberm, is a modular patented vertipad designed to reduce downwash during eVTOL take-off and landing, minimize noise, and enable rapid response to battery fires.
