Welcome URBI sky: “New Company Embracing Vertiport Infrastructure & Services”

Often an email, mas­querad­ing as a press release, is sent to a web­site from a new com­pa­ny describ­ing its busi­ness, yet offer­ing no actu­al news which then, unfor­tu­nate­ly, rarely sees the light of day. 

This occurred to eVTOL Insights last week from a Kaza­khstan-based Ver­ti­port infra­struc­ture com­pa­ny called URBI sky. Yet, the tim­ing of the email is impec­ca­ble giv­en it is late August when the usu­al famine of news occurs.

On clos­er inspec­tion URBI sky looks a real­ly inter­est­ing com­pa­ny.

Yuliya Zolo­tykh

Found­ed by Yuliya Zolo­tykh, with over 10 years of expe­ri­ence in engi­neer­ing project man­age­ment and infra­struc­ture con­sult­ing for indus­tri­al and com­mer­cial clients, her name is of Russ­ian and Slav­ic ori­gin and a Latin vari­ant of Julia. She is also Founder of ZOLO Engi­neer­ing and Almaty.

On the web­site Yuliya says she is “an expert in mod­u­lar sys­tems and urban infra­struc­ture, with a deep under­stand­ing of tech­ni­cal, mar­ket and stake­hold­er needs.” 

URBI sky says it is a design­er of Infra­struc­ture and Sup­port Facil­i­ties for Urban Air Mobil­i­ty by pro­vid­ing end-to-end ser­vices for ver­ti­ports.

The com­pa­ny designs three forms: The Ver­ti­Port, Stop and Hub. The com­pa­ny’s web­site is well worth a perusal, offer­ing good qual­i­ty CGI video and futur­is­tic design plans with play­ful titles to boot.

It is unclear how the com­pa­ny is being financed while it posi­tions itself in a small and high­ly spe­cialised indus­try that is already dom­i­nat­ed by com­pa­nies like Sky­ports and Sky­portz, as well as major glob­al con­struc­tion builders such as Fer­rovial.

Yuliya claims she is part­nered with Joby, Archer and NASA. Per­haps, the word part­ner means in con­cept only. An Insta­gram page offers a pho­to of her stand­ing next to a Joby eVTOL.

We wish URBI sky every good luck with its new endeav­our.

Sym­bol­is­ing the ori­gin point of a new aer­i­al era, it appears both ancient and futur­is­tic, as if dis­cov­ered rather than built.”)
