The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has conducted a comprehensive study on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and published a 20-page "Blueprint for AAM" document.
This blueprint provides actionable initiatives to integrate AAM into Georgia's transportation system and outlines a clear path for achieving the state's AAM goals.
The study focuses on ensuring public safety, understanding AAM operator needs, assessing likely operation locations, identifying infrastructure gaps, planning for new entrants, and assisting with public acceptance of this new transportation mode.

The GDOT Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Study White Paper presents a strategic roadmap for implementing AAM technology in Georgia. The document outlines four main components: assessing AAM activities and potential in Georgia, an inventory of potential vertiport locations, a community guidebook for local governments, and a statewide AAM action plan. Key findings include:
- Nearly all Georgia's airports are compatible with electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft and can support AAM operations.
- A network of eVTOL chargers needs to be built, estimated at $500,000 to $750,000 per charger.
- The study aims to set the stage for the rollout of AAM technology in the next 3-5 years, with commercial operations expected between 2026 and 2030.
- The blueprint recommends legislative and administrative actions, including updating airport licensing regulations to encompass vertiports.
- Four strategic goals are outlined to advance AAM in Georgia, and specific actions are taken to accomplish these goals.
- The study proposes developing a demonstration AAM route to identify gaps and solutions and provide proof of concept for AAM in the state.
- Collaboration with stakeholders, including site developers, airports, utilities, and aircraft manufacturers, is emphasized for successful implementation.
The white paper highlights Georgia's potential to become a leader in the AAM industry, leveraging its existing aerospace and electric infrastructure. It addresses key challenges and opportunities, providing a comprehensive framework for integrating this innovative technology into the state's transportation ecosystem.
