Skyports Forges Ahead With Vertiport Infrastructure As AAM Timelines Slip
Vertiport developer Skyports Infrastructure is proceeding with its development plans despite acknowledged delays in the certification of advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft. The company is actively advancing projects in key launch markets like Dubai and Paris, securing sites and partnerships for its future air taxi networks. CEO Duncan Walker views the aircraft certification delays as a "right-shifting" of the timeline rather than a failure, emphasizing the need for infrastructure to be ready. By moving forward with construction and regulatory collaboration, Skyports is betting on the eventual arrival of eVTOLs, highlighting a growing gap between ground infrastructure readiness and vehicle availability.
