SkyScape, LYNEports sign MOU “for Collaboration to Advance Vertiport Siting and Location Analysis Services in APAC and North America” 

LYNEports, a Euro­pean Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) plan­ning solution/software devel­op­er and Sky­Scape, a Japan­ese ver­ti­port devel­op­ment com­pa­ny head­quar­tered in Osa­ka, recent­ly announced a Mem­o­ran­dum of Under­stand­ing (MOU) agree­ment to inte­grate LYNEports loca­tion assess­ment soft­ware into SkyScape’s Ver­ti­port devel­op­ment, reports a press release. This will offer  smoother and more effi­cient eval­u­a­tions of poten­tial Ver­ti­port sites for Sky­Scape clients. 

Asa Que­sen­ber­ry, Pres­i­dent and Founder of Sky­Scape, com­ment­ed, “As we move clos­er to the launch of eVTOLs, there is still much work left to be done in regards to get­ting our infra­struc­ture pre­pared and ready to sup­port oper­a­tions.”

He con­tin­ued, “We believe work­ing with LYNEports is one of our best bets in help­ing get these sites assessed and ready for devel­op­ment faster and more effi­cient­ly than what we’re cur­rent­ly see­ing.”

LYNEports solu­tions allows for improved loca­tion sit­ing, help­ing asset own­ers more quick­ly under­stand poten­tial lim­i­ta­tions or restric­tions of their site in regards to Ver­ti­port devel­op­ment. Through this col­lab­o­ra­tion, Sky­Scape is look­ing to bring these improved devel­op­ment time­lines and stream­lined pro­ce­dures to its clients in both the APAC and North Amer­i­can mar­kets. 

Rasha Al Sha­mi, Founder of LYNEports, remarked, ”Col­lab­o­rat­ing with Sky­Scape sig­ni­fies our shared com­mit­ment to pio­neer­ing inno­va­tion in advanc­ing urban air mobil­i­ty. Plan­ning and assess­ing ver­ti­port loca­tions is an essen­tial ini­tial step for both cities and devel­op­ers, paving the way for sus­tain­able mod­u­lar ver­ti­port devel­op­ment.” 

She added, “Work­ing along­side Asa’s team to deploy­ing these facil­i­ties in two major regions marks a sig­nif­i­cant stride towards automat­ing and expe­dit­ing indus­try intro­duc­tion while uphold­ing strin­gent safe­ty and effi­cien­cy stan­dards.”

The two com­pa­nies will col­lab­o­rate on site eval­u­a­tions as well as flight path and obsta­cle clear­ance to ensure safe and effi­cient facil­i­ty plan­ning that pri­ori­tis­es oper­a­tional safe­ty. With­in the LYNEports soft­ware, loca­tion and archi­tec­tur­al sys­tems will be utilised to help Sky­Scape Ver­ti­port clients more eas­i­ly visu­alise and design their facil­i­ty.

The release explains, “Sky­Scape is pio­neer­ing a unique approach to Ver­ti­port devel­op­ment focused on their avi­a­tion facil­i­ty ‘build­ing blocks’, as a set of ready-made units that house var­i­ous ele­ments of ver­ti­port oper­a­tions. These blocks are meant to empow­er site devel­op­ers by allow­ing them to design avi­a­tion facil­i­ties and ver­ti­ports with only the ele­ments that are applic­a­ble to their unique sit­u­a­tion and use case.” 

It goes on, “The blocks are intend­ed to make use of up-cycled con­tain­ers as well as high-grade alu­mini­um to enable quick set up and resilience through the facil­i­ties life­cy­cle while empha­sis­ing a focus on sus­tain­able mate­ri­als. The hope of SkyScape’s approach is to devel­op avi­a­tion facil­i­ties that can sup­port a high num­ber of co-locat­ed ser­vices not lim­it­ed to eVTOL oper­a­tions but also first response, med­ical deliv­er­ies, secu­ri­ty and more in the name of empow­er­ing com­mu­ni­ties through AAM.”
