Volatus Infrastructure co-founder Grant Fisk to participate in NATA AAM committee

Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture co-founder Grant Fisk has joined the Nation­al Air Trans­porta­tion Asso­ci­a­tion (NATA) Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) Com­mit­tee, its newest com­mit­tee that aims to pro­vide stake­hold­er input on the path for­ward for fixed base oper­a­tors (FBOs) and air­ports plan­ning to ser­vice the next gen­er­a­tion of air­craft.

The com­mit­tee address­es sus­tain­able infra­struc­ture, such as ver­ti­ports, where inno­v­a­tive solu­tions in trans­port­ing peo­ple and goods will impact the over­all avi­a­tion ecosys­tem.

NATA man­ag­ing direc­tor of indus­try affairs and inno­va­tion Megan Eisen­stein stat­ed: “The Asso­ci­a­tion wel­comes Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture as a new mem­ber and co-founder Grant Fisk as a par­tic­i­pant on the NATA AAM Com­mit­tee.

“Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture is on the cut­ting edge of prac­ti­cal, agile and scal­able eVTOL infra­struc­ture solu­tions, build­ing strate­gic indus­try part­ner­ships and prepar­ing com­mu­ni­ties to sup­port a new avi­a­tion envi­ron­ment. We look for­ward to adding Grant’s voice and vision to the diverse struc­ture and rep­re­sen­ta­tion of NATA’s AAM Com­mit­tee.”

Grant Fisk added: “It is an hon­or to be a part of an asso­ci­a­tion with such deep roots and his­to­ry in the avi­a­tion indus­try, and I am look­ing for­ward to work­ing with the oth­er AAM com­mit­tee mem­bers as we blaze this new path for­ward togeth­er.

“We are in the crit­i­cal plan­ning and prepa­ra­tion time peri­od for AAM as the vehi­cles start to com­plete their cer­ti­fi­ca­tions and the infra­struc­ture ecosys­tem breaks ground, so it is of utmost impor­tance that we are col­lab­o­rat­ing with each oth­er with a com­mon goal.”

Found­ed in 1940 and head­quar­tered in Wash­ing­ton DC, NATA is a non-prof­it trade asso­ci­a­tion of over 2,700 avi­a­tion busi­ness com­pa­nies, includ­ing FBOs, air char­ter oper­a­tors, gen­er­al avi­a­tion fuel sup­pli­ers and main­te­nance, repair and oper­a­tions (MROs).

NATA is the lead­ing nation­al trade asso­ci­a­tion rep­re­sent­ing the busi­ness inter­ests of gen­er­al avi­a­tion ser­vice com­pa­nies on leg­isla­tive and reg­u­la­to­ry mat­ters and pro­vid­ing edu­ca­tion, ser­vices and ben­e­fits to its mem­bers.

Found­ed in 2021, Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture is con­nect­ing com­mu­ni­ties to the future with best-in-class eVTOL infra­struc­ture tech­nol­o­gy, offer­ing three main eVTOL infra­struc­ture designs, a vehi­cle agnos­tic charg­ing sta­tion, plus an app and main­te­nance pro­grammes.

Last month, Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture signed a mem­o­ran­dum of under­stand­ing with South Kore­an eVTOL vehi­cle man­u­fac­tur­er Plana to work togeth­er on ver­ti­port devel­op­ment and inte­gra­tion of eVTOL oper­a­tions to strength­en the advanced air mobil­i­ty indus­try.
