The 2025 outlook for the vertiport and advanced air mobility (AAM) industry reflects a transformative period as the sector strives to transition from conceptualization to practical implementation. This rapidly evolving industry is dedicated to advancing urban air mobility, which promises to reshape how we travel within cities. It centers on innovative technologies, particularly electric and hydrogen-powered vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. These aircraft are engineered to take off and land vertically, making them ideal for crowded urban settings where traditional runways are impractical.
The rapid development of the advanced air mobility (AAM) industry is fueling a growing need for specialized training in vertiport design and operations. As electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft move closer to commercial reality, the supporting ground infrastructure must be carefully planned and built to enable safe, efficient passenger services. This has led several universities, companies, and organizations to establish new educational programs to prepare professionals to master the unique challenges of vertiport development.
