Alongside these partnerships, Alt Air will leverage existing airports and other aviation infrastructure assets in Sydney, including operating bases on Sydney Harbour and at Palm Beach. Additionally, with Skyports, Alt Air will explore new vertiport locations to expand the network of future commercial eVTOL services in Queensland, according to today’s press release from Eve.
Per today’s press release, the Eve-Alt Air-Skyports consortium brings together the key components required to establish a safe, efficient, and sustainable Urban Air Mobility (UAM) ecosystem, one that positions Australia as a global leader in next-generation transportation services.
Specifically, Eve, Alt Air, and Skyports will co-develop an integrated operational plan spanning critical elements of Australia’s emerging eVTOL market, including vertiport infrastructure, route planning, airspace integration, ground operations, and customer experience, according to Eve.
Per Eve, the collaboration will also play a significant role in supporting future commercial eVTOL services across both regions, including a roadmap that builds high-visibility operations in time for the Brisbane 2032 Summer Games.
“Through this collaboration, we are laying the foundation for a world-class eVTOL ecosystem in Australia,” said Johann Bordais, chief executive officer at Eve Air Mobility, “New South Wales and Queensland present an incredible opportunity to deliver sustainable, quiet, and efficient urban air mobility solutions that will benefit residents, businesses, and international visitors, especially as we look toward the opening of Western Sydney International Airport and the global stage of the Brisbane 2032 Games.”
