Urban-Air Port

Six Miles Across London, our parent company and majority shareholder, established Urban-Air Port after an initial foray into Urban Air Mobility with Airbus (more on that next time), this quickly led Volocopter's Founder, Alex Zosel to us... that was 2018... He was the first eVTOL OEM Founder to say publicly "If you want to be taken seriously in the 'flying car business', you need an infrastructure plan. It's not enough to just have futuristic looking aircraft that can take off and land vertically. You also need a citywide system of landing pads, charging stations, and passenger loading & unloading areas." He personally commissioned this from our Parent company, check it out (and turn up the volume) >> https://lnkd.in/etK7V75X Amidst the struggles with OEMs inc. Volocopter right now, we want to take a moment to remind us all of how pioneering Volocopter were and remain. From this initial collaboration back in 2018 right up to earlier this year where Volocopter requested our support for the #Parisolympics - Alex's first sentiment led to the creation of this stunning video, but also our company, many jobs and an industry. #Kudos. We look forward to continuing supporting Volocopter in their next chapter. #volocopter #evtol #innovation #pioneers #geely #china #uam #aam GEELY Mudrick Capital Management #investing #familyoffice #uae #infrastruture Arup

Great to see our Richard Matthews up on stage alongside Ericsson Telecommunications Inc., KPMG and Jason Pritchard from eVTOL Insights. Richard’s opening statement starts the discussion: “What’s interesting at the #EVShow here today is that the exhibition is focused on infrastructure not the EVs themselves, and that’s what the eVTOL industry needs to really pivot towards - quickly”. The panel uses our #AirOne vertiport - the worlds first fully operational vertiport in the downtown urban setting of #coventry here in the UK, with full regulatory approval (150 flights successfully flown) - as the benchmark that still sets the bar for a viable, affordable & scaleable solution.

It was a great pleasure to support the #eVTOLinsights Europe Conference last week in London. Our CEO Andrea Wu was accompanied on stage by our Founder Ricky Sandhu, with friends at UrbanV joining remotely from Italy. A lively discussion on making real, grown up progress for the #evtol and #aam industry by facing up to the #vertiport challenges with scaleable and economically viable solutions. Ricky said, "We don't need more car parks, we need financially viable vertiports like Urban-Air Port's low capex but high capacity design that pays-back much quicker and w/o relying on an adjacent car park for revenues." Thanks Jason Pritchard and eVTOL Insights for hosting such a great event in central #London! #uam #infrastructure #technology #vertiports #ram #aviation #aerospace #funding #electricaviation #leadership #makeitreal #lg #hyundaimotorgroup

We are thrilled to welcome Jamie Allan to our team! Jamie built his career, building IMA. His foresight and innovation in advertising & marketing will now drive the next era of our brand & growth globally. Jamie said; “After first learning about Urban-Air Port in 2022, when they launched the world’s first fully operational Urban-Air Port for drones and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in Coventry, I was immediately hooked. Since then, I’ve had the privilege to learn more about the future of zero-emission advanced air mobility ecosystems, and the possibilities for passenger and cargo transport are truly astounding. Urban-Air Port holds an unrivalled position in these ecosystems, collaborating with the most skilled and experienced professionals across the globe. I’m thrilled to join their advisory board as a shareholder in the business where I’ll help shape their marketing and brand strategy, support their significant growth ambitions, and assist in expanding their investment portfolio.
