BEAT Aviation Announces Its Inaugural Regional Air Mobility Online Workshop — Taking Place This Month

Tick­ets to an online edu­ca­tion­al work­shop which focus­es on how Region­al Air Mobil­i­ty (RAM) will help shape the future glob­al avi­a­tion mar­ket are now on sale.

The event has been organ­ised by BEAT Avi­a­tion — a com­pa­ny found­ed by Jere­my ‘Jam’ Hart­ley which aims to ‘turn the con­cept of safe, afford­able and sus­tain­able RAM into real­i­ty.’

Tak­ing place from 4.30pm to 6pm GMT on Tues­day, Novem­ber 25th, BEAT describes the work­shop as more than a tech­ni­cal overview. It will explore how RAM is shap­ing short-range flight through a val­ues-dri­ven approach which pri­ori­tis­es sus­tain­abil­i­ty, equi­ty and com­mu­ni­ty-first design.

Addi­tion­al­ly, the online ses­sion offers an intro­duc­tion to RAM’s role with­in the Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty ecosys­tem, includ­ing the infra­struc­ture and reg­u­la­to­ry frame­works and career path­ways emerg­ing in this fast-grow­ing sec­tor.

Par­tic­i­pants will also explore the social, envi­ron­men­tal and eco­nom­ic dri­vers accel­er­at­ing RAM adop­tion, from break­throughs in elec­tric, hybrid-elec­tric and hydro­gen propul­sion, to the untapped poten­tial of region­al air­ports and the grow­ing demand for alter­na­tives to con­gest­ed roads and hubs.

Hart­ley said: “The future of avi­a­tion will be shaped not by inno­va­tion alone, but by a col­lab­o­ra­tive effort to build a sus­tain­able and inclu­sive indus­try. I call on a diverse coali­tion of con­trib­u­tors; from avi­a­tion pro­fes­sion­als, to non-indus­try stake­hold­ers and engaged cit­i­zens, to join forces in acti­vat­ing this shared mis­sion.”

This work­shop also marks the begin­ning of BEAT Aviation’s broad­er mis­sion: to oper­ate with­in com­mu­ni­ty-first RAM net­works across the UK and glob­al­ly.

As BEAT forges part­ner­ships with oth­er key play­ers with­in the ecosys­tem, it aims to strength­en these col­lab­o­ra­tions by imple­ment­ing val­ues-aligned legal frame­works and advanc­ing a cul­ture of safe­ty and pro­fes­sion­al pride.

This includes pro­mot­ing equi­ty through inclu­sive train­ing and men­tor­ship. From an oper­a­tional stand­point, BEAT will remain air­craft agnos­tic and as zero-emis­sion air­craft become cer­ti­fied and com­mer­cial­ly viable, it will deploy them across region­al routes, pri­ori­tis­ing under­served areas and ensur­ing every oper­a­tional deci­sion aligns with long-term cli­mate com­mit­ments and pub­lic trust. 

Although BEAT’s roots are in the Unit­ed King­dom, its mis­sion is glob­al. Its com­mit­ments include encour­ag­ing net-zero oper­a­tions from day one, pro­gress­ing to true zero emis­sions as tech­nol­o­gy evolves: con­nect­ing small air­ports, coastal water aero­dromes, and under­served com­mu­ni­ties using the clean­est air­craft and VTOL tech­nol­o­gy avail­able.

Hart­ley adds: “BEAT’s pledge will be to ensure fares are afford­able and region­al trav­el is acces­si­ble whilst deliv­er­ing real social val­ue by improv­ing access to health­care, jobs, edu­ca­tion and tourism for rur­al and island com­mu­ni­ties.

“It will also sup­port the future of avi­a­tion through inclu­sive STEM out­reach and invest­ment in edu­ca­tion and uphold­ing the UN’s Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment Goals across all part­ner­ships”.

Gen­er­al admis­sion for this online primer is priced at £25, with a dis­count­ed stu­dent rate of £10 to ensure acces­si­bil­i­ty for emerg­ing change mak­ers.

All atten­dees will receive a 20 per cent dis­count vouch­er toward any upcom­ing BEAT Avi­a­tion ‘Foun­da­tions in RAM’ in-per­son work­shop, launch­ing soon with­in the UK and across the world.
