Skyports Infrastructure, a leading Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) infrastructure provider, and private airport operator Corporación América Airports S.A (CAAP), have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to plan the development and deployment of vertiport infrastructure for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) operations.
Skyports and CAAP will combine their distinct industry and technical expertise to share best practices for vertiport design concepts in markets of mutual interest. The collaboration will involve developing vertiport networks and operations for relevant use cases and detailed planning for the deployment of permanent vertiport infrastructure.
As part of these efforts, the companies will evaluate which of CAAP's assets are best suited for vertiport deployment, prioritising sites based on market readiness and opportunity. Location details for prospective vertiports will be confirmed at a later stage in the partnership.
The partnership between the two companies is an important step in the growth of the AAM industry in Latin America and supports the development of operationally critical vertiport networks.
