New White Paper on Automated Traffic Management Services Published by Eve Air Mobility and SkyGrid

Eve Air Mobil­i­ty and Sky­Grid have announced the joint pub­li­ca­tion of a land­mark white paper titled “Enabling Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty – Auto­mat­ed Traf­fic Man­age­ment Ser­vices for Low-Alti­tude Oper­a­tions”.

Unveiled dur­ing the CANSO Air­space Asia Pacif­ic con­fer­ence in Hong Kong, the paper pro­vides a roadmap for air­space inte­gra­tion and automa­tion, set­ting the stage for the future of dig­i­tal avi­a­tion.

Devel­oped joint­ly by both com­pa­nies, the 17-page white paper address­es the oper­a­tional and reg­u­la­to­ry chal­lenges of inte­grat­ing high­ly auto­mat­ed eVTOL air­craft and oth­er new air­craft into urban and region­al air­space.

It also pro­pos­es how Air Nav­i­ga­tion Ser­vice Providers (ANSPs) can col­lab­o­rate with third-par­ty ser­vice providers to deliv­er nov­el data ser­vices and automa­tion, sup­port­ing the safe and effi­cient scal­ing of AAM oper­a­tions world­wide.

Luiz Mauad, Vice Pres­i­dent of Cus­tomer Ser­vices at Eve, said: “Pub­lish­ing this paper at Air­space Asia Pacif­ic rep­re­sents a piv­otal moment for the future of avi­a­tion. Our vision is to ensure that Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty is not only pos­si­ble, but scal­able, safe and sus­tain­able.

A key enabler will be opti­miz­ing the eVTOLs’ abil­i­ty to nav­i­gate the skies, and by col­lab­o­rat­ing with Sky­Grid as well as the wider indus­try, we are lay­ing the ground­work for a new era of traf­fic man­age­ment.

This will allow urban air mobil­i­ty to thrive while sup­port­ing the needs of tra­di­tion­al avi­a­tion. Asia-Pacif­ic, in par­tic­u­lar, presents an extra­or­di­nary oppor­tu­ni­ty to lead this trans­for­ma­tion, giv­en its pace of urban­iza­tion and demand for new mobil­i­ty solu­tions.”

Accord­ing to the paper, auto­mat­ed traf­fic man­age­ment ser­vices will enhance pre­dictabil­i­ty, capac­i­ty and flex­i­bil­i­ty in urban skies, ensur­ing that AAM flights can oper­ate safe­ly along­side con­ven­tion­al avi­a­tion. With new tech­nolo­gies, dig­i­tal air­space struc­tures and data exchange, ANSPs can sup­port high vol­umes of low-alti­tude traf­fic with­out adding strain to con­trollers or infra­struc­ture.

The white paper is avail­able for indus­try review and dis­cus­sion as part of the CANSO pan­el “Path­way to Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty – Launch­ing Region­al AAM into the Future.”

Nate Isbell, Head of Busi­ness Devel­op­ment at Sky­Grid, said: “Sky­Grid is proud to work with Eve in chart­ing a clear path toward auto­mat­ed low-alti­tude traf­fic man­age­ment. Our research under­scores how automa­tion and data-dri­ven ser­vices can trans­form air­space man­age­ment, reduce com­plex­i­ty for reg­u­la­tors, and cre­ate new oppor­tu­ni­ties for oper­a­tors.

“This white paper is not just a vision; it is an invi­ta­tion for gov­ern­ments, ANSPs and indus­try lead­ers to join us in build­ing the sys­tems that will unlock Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty at scale and deliv­er last­ing val­ue to soci­eties world­wide.”

Accord­ing to Eve’s Mar­ket Out­look, the Asia-Pacif­ic region alone is expect­ed to rep­re­sent 41% of the world’s eVTOL fleet by 2045, with more than 12,200 air­craft in ser­vice.

This growth will be dri­ven by rapid urban­iza­tion, ris­ing mid­dle-class pop­u­la­tions and increas­ing con­ges­tion in the world’s largest cities. Togeth­er, Eve and Sky­Grid are com­mit­ted to ensur­ing that this growth is achieved in a safe, dig­i­tal, and sus­tain­able way.
