The MOU was signed by Daniel O’Neill, Gen­er­al Man­ag­er of Sky­ports Mid­dle East and H.E. Omar Mohammed Lootah, Direc­tor Gen­er­al of Ajman Trans­port Author­i­ty.

The Mem­o­ran­dum includes areas of col­lab­o­ra­tion involv­ing stud­ies and research in the devel­op­ment of smart aer­i­al trans­port infra­struc­ture, iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of suit­able loca­tions for essen­tial facil­i­ties, as well as enhance­ment of tech­ni­cal and oper­a­tional readi­ness.

O’Neill said at the sign­ing agree­ment, the part­ner­ship rep­re­sent­ed “a valu­able oppor­tu­ni­ty to col­lab­o­rate on enabling advanced aer­i­al mobil­i­ty tech­nolo­gies in Ajman, and devel­op­ing sup­port­ing infra­struc­ture in line with the Gen­er­al Civ­il Avi­a­tion Author­i­ty’s (GCAA) recent ver­ti­port reg­u­la­tions.”

Mohammed Lootah added that the agree­ment “is part of the Authority’s vision to embrace inno­v­a­tive trans­port solu­tions which sup­port Ajman’s trans­for­ma­tion into a smart city.”
