Advanced air mobility (AAM) development companies Skyway and Future Flight Global are partnering to develop regional transportation networks to handle commercial eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) vehicles by 2026.

Skyway focuses on vertiport infrastructure development operations and Future Flight specializes in eVTOL takeoff and landing operations.

The companies plan to work to connect urban hubs and remote communities, and plan transportation needs to support special events, such as the upcoming FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympics.

"The industry is moving forward rapidly, and so are we," said Clifford Cruz, CEO of Skyway. "This partnership represents a significant leap toward making advanced air mobility a reality. Together with FFG, we're building an ecosystem where technology and infrastructure seamlessly support the future of sustainable aviation."

Skyway and Future Flight plan to integrate AAM systems into regional transportation networks around the world.

Future Flight also has a partnership with Anra Technologies to develop a digital backbone for advanced air mobility.

The companies plan to create the required infrastructure to support and scale electric flying vehicles including eVTOL air taxis, powered lift aircraft, delivery drones and regional aircraft.

The AAM sector is expected to drastically reduce intra-city travel times and enable faster inter-city connections, transforming how people and things move.

Anra Technologies and Future Flight plan to develop a real-time airspace management and mission planning system.

The platform would help autonomous flying vehicles avoid collisions as well as manage airspace congestion and coordinate with vertiports and charging stations.

Anra and Future Flight plan to create pilot programs in urban and regional environments to validate the digital infrastructure and coordinate with regulators for compliance and public safety.

The partnership also aims to engage local communities and showcase the benefits of AAM while addressing issues around noise, airspace usage and environmental impact.
