Spanish Crisalion Mobility has entered into a strategic agreement with Swedish vertiport company Kookiejar, renowned for its extensive expertise in developing air mobility solutions. This collaboration aims to jointly develop vertiports, crucial infrastructure for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
Crisalion Mobility and Kookiejar are pooling their resources to devise an action plan and roadmap, outlining a set of shared objectives pivotal to their project advancement. Their focus will be on pinpointing potential synergies between the eVTOL INTEGRITY and Kookiejar vertiports, as well as evaluating the operational efficiency of Crisalion Mobility’s activities within these facilities. These operations encompass freight transportation, medical emergencies, as well as urban, regional and tourism missions.
Moreover, the agreement places significant emphasis on formulating strategies to mitigate environmental impact, improve turnaround efficiency, and adhere to sustainability standards. Joint training initiatives will be implemented for the teams of both companies, alongside research endeavours into upcoming technologies aimed at further enhancing the efficiency and safety of air mobility operations pertinent to the project.
The collaboration between Crisalion Mobility and Kookiejar stands as a pivotal milestone in the expansion and advancement of air mobility within urban environments. It not only opens up a plethora of opportunities for integrating aircraft into the global transportation infrastructure but also heralds a new era in urban air mobility. Cooperation has proven to be essential in crafting sustainable, ground-breaking solutions. Each of the two companies brings to the fore its unique expertise in developing innovative, secure solutions that will facilitate the widespread implementation of vertiports across the globe.
Taking inspiration from Sweden’s IKEA, Kookiejar’s scalable, modular construction approach for vertiports empowers businesses, cities, and towns to make their commercial real estate flight-ready and establish an efficient Vertiport network. Kookiejar’s cost-effective solutions offer flexibility in vertiport deployment, with the aim of minimising landing fees and making air mobility accessible to all.
