Advanced Air Mobility Institute publishes “2025 Winter Global AAM ForumSummary Report”

The Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Insti­tute (AAMI) has pub­lished its “2025 Win­ter Glob­al AAM Forum (GAAMF) Sum­mery Report”, states a press release.

The study analy­ses indus­try progress, reg­u­la­to­ry chal­lenges and mar­ket trends from over 70 coun­tries, while syn­the­sis­ing insights from key stake­hold­ers; exam­ines pub­lic sen­ti­ment; tech­no­log­i­cal advance­ments; and the socioe­co­nom­ic impact of AAM glob­al­ly. 

Amin Vafadar, the AAMI Exec­u­tive Direc­tor and GAAMF Report Edi­tor-in-Chief, com­ment­ed,  “AAM is no longer a dis­tant dream, but an immi­nent real­i­ty poised to trans­form glob­al trans­porta­tion. Its suc­cess depends on inter­na­tion­al col­lab­o­ra­tion to address reg­u­la­to­ry, infra­struc­ture and pub­lic engage­ment chal­lenges.”

He con­tin­ued, “By align­ing stan­dards, fos­ter­ing inno­va­tion and advo­cat­ing for poli­cies that ensure safe­ty and sus­tain­abil­i­ty, we can lay the foun­da­tion for a more con­nect­ed and inclu­sive future.” 

The Forum, which includ­ed a keynote from eVTOL Insights’ Exec­u­tive Edi­tor, Jason Pritchard, high­light­ed the industry’s con­tin­ued focus on Pub­lic Safe­ty, Emer­gency Response and Air Med­ical Trans­port, giv­en its imme­di­ate soci­etal ben­e­fits. Agri­cul­ture Ser­vices and Car­go Deliv­ery also gained inter­est, reflect­ing AAM’s expand­ing role beyond urban pas­sen­ger trans­port.

The release says, “While progress con­tin­ues in eVTOL air­craft, drone logis­tics and sus­tain­able propul­sion, reg­u­la­to­ry hur­dles and pub­lic per­cep­tion remain chal­leng­ing. The report empha­sis­es the need for har­monised poli­cies, stream­lined cer­ti­fi­ca­tion process­es and pub­lic aware­ness efforts to accel­er­ate safe, scal­able AAM inte­gra­tion.”

It goes on, “Sur­vey results indi­cate most indus­try experts antic­i­pate com­mer­cial eVTOL oper­a­tions with­in the next 5 years. Elec­tric avi­a­tion is already here with eCTOL fixed wing air­craft type cer­ti­fied and fly­ing today.” 

Mean­while, the Board of Liaisons has elect­ed its lead­er­ship for the 2025 Sum­mer term. Fer­nan­da Sinis­calchi (Brazil) will serve as Chair; Eyal Zehavi (Israel) as Vice-Chair; Walid Mesk­ine (Sau­di Ara­bia) as Trea­sur­er; and Remus Matei (Aus­tria) as Sec­re­tary. 

Sinis­calchi remarked, “Our Liaisons play a vital role in con­nect­ing glob­al per­spec­tives and uni­fy­ing our efforts to advance AAM in a mean­ing­ful way. Togeth­er, we can strength­en col­lab­o­ra­tion with indus­try, author­i­ties and local com­mu­ni­ties to ensure AAM devel­op­ment aligns with real-world need.” She added, “I’m excit­ed to con­tribute and to achieve these goals along­side such a ded­i­cat­ed and inspir­ing team.”
