This white paper examines the potential of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and its impact on airports. It covers key aspects of AAM including use cases, infrastructure requirements, challenges, and opportunities for airport operators. The paper provides a strategic framework to help airports integrate AAM operations successfully.
This comprehensive white paper explores how Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is poised to transform urban transportation and create new opportunities for airports. Key points include:
  • AAM refers to electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft that can transport passengers and cargo in urban areas, with the potential to disrupt traditional mobility.
  • By 2040, the main AAM use cases will be passenger transport, cargo delivery, and military/state applications. Airport shuttle services could generate 50% of AAM passenger revenues.
  • Vertiports are a crucial element of AAM infrastructure. The paper outlines different vertiport concepts and their potential locations at airports.
  • For airports, AAM offers benefits like expanding catchment areas, reviving short-haul flights, and diversifying revenue streams through vertiport operations.
  • Key challenges include airspace integration, regulatory hurdles, public acceptance, and developing viable business models.
  • The paper provides a roadmap for airports to successfully implement vertiport projects, covering aspects like traffic forecasting, location studies, infrastructure planning, and operational readiness.
  • AAM can potentially create a global market accounting for 5-12% of world GDP by 2040, but overcoming initial obstacles will require significant investment and collaboration across the ecosystem.
This white paper serves as a comprehensive guide for airport operators looking to capitalize on the emerging AAM market while addressing the complex challenges of integrating this new form of aviation into existing airport ecosystems.
