Urban-Air Port and Egis collaborate on vertiport engineering and operations

Egis and UK-based Urban-Air Port will joint­ly devel­op Urban-Air Port’s com­pact and mod­u­lar ver­ti­port solu­tions. Egis’ mis­sion is cre­at­ing and oper­at­ing intel­li­gent infra­struc­ture capa­ble of respond­ing to the cli­mate emer­gency and its expert teams work­ing close­ly on mobil­i­ty, ener­gy and the built envi­ron­ment to strength­en Urban-Air Port’s ver­ti­port solu­tions.

Spe­cial­ist engi­neer­ing and oper­a­tional input will be the ini­tial focus of this new part­ner­ship. Togeth­er, Egis and Urban-Air Port will pio­neer ver­ti­port solu­tions for the Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Sec­tor to cut con­ges­tion and air pol­lu­tion from car­go and pas­sen­ger trans­port util­is­ing best-in-class design, tech­nol­o­gy and man­u­fac­tur­ing.

Hervé Drévil­lon, Project Direc­tor at Egis, said: “Urban-Air Port’s Ver­ti­cal Air­field project offers an effi­cient foot­print, class-lead­ing pas­sen­ger expe­ri­ence and an inno­v­a­tive ter­mi­nal build­ing design.

“We are look­ing for­ward to work­ing with the team, bring­ing our under­stand­ing of air­space man­age­ment and inte­gra­tion, all-round engi­neer­ing expe­ri­ence and a track record in oper­at­ing 20 air­ports around the world, to help make it hap­pen.”

Andrea Wu, Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer at Urban-Air Port, added: “We are excit­ed to join forces with Egis to deliv­er com­pact ver­ti­port solu­tions that will become a glob­al game chang­er.

“Egis has exten­sive expe­ri­ence and a world-class rep­u­ta­tion for design­ing and oper­at­ing a wide array of trans­port infra­struc­ture sys­tems from high­ways to air­ports. Com­bined with our strate­gic vision to cre­ate sus­tain­able, inter­modal trans­port hubs enabled by Urban-Air Port’s Tech­nol­o­gy, this part­ner­ship pro­vides for a pow­er­ful new alliance to deliv­er on the promise of Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty.”

Egis is active in the con­sult­ing, con­struc­tion engi­neer­ing and mobil­i­ty ser­vice sec­tors, cre­at­ing and oper­at­ing intel­li­gent infra­struc­ture and build­ings, with oper­a­tions in 120 coun­tries.

Last week, Urban-Air Port joined forces with Han­wha Sys­tems and Korea Air­ports to help pro­pel AAM by deploy­ing tech­nol­o­gy-dri­ven inno­va­tions to empow­er ultra-effi­cient, high-through­put ver­ti­port infra­struc­ture solu­tions.
