++++ Lange unerwartete Wende: Flughafen Essen/Mülheim bleibt – und startet in eine klimafreundliche Zukunft! ++++   In einer vor wenigen Monaten noch unvorstellbaren Entscheidung hat der Stadtrat Essen beschlossen, den Flughafen Essen/Mülheim NICHT zu schließen, sondern ihn bis über 2034 hinaus weiterzubetreiben!   Diese Entscheidung widerspricht den jahrzehntelangen Plänen, den Flugbetrieb aufgrund von Rentabilitäts-Herausforderungen und finanziellen Defiziten einzustellen. Trotz dieser Herausforderungen hat sich in der letzten Zeit eine Entwicklung hin zu nachhaltigen Konzepten, insbesondere für elektrisches Fliegen, abgezeichnet, die schließlich zur Entscheidung geführt hat, den Flughafen weiterzuführen und zu modernisieren.   Dank der intensiven Zusammenarbeit des Flughafens und amd.sigma wurde eine fundierte Potenzialanalyse und Bewertung der bestehenden Infrastruktur durchgeführt. Es konnte eine solide Grundlage für diese Entscheidung geschaffen werden. Wir sind stolz darauf, dass unsere Expertise entscheidend dazu beigetragen hat, eine nachhaltige und zukunftsweisende Lösung für den Flughafen zu finden.   Besonders erfreulich ist, dass u.a. unsere Konzepte für das elektrische Fliegen den Ausschlag gegeben haben. Dies ist nicht nur ein großer Erfolg für den Standort Essen/Mülheim, sondern auch ein Prototyp für die Entwicklung aller regionalen Flughäfen in Deutschland. Wir sind begeistert, diesen wegweisenden Weg aktiv mitgestalten zu dürfen! 🚀✈ In a decision that would have been unimaginable just a few months ago, the Essen City Council has decided NOT to close Essen/Mülheim Airport, but to continue its operations beyond 2034. This decision goes against long-standing plans to cease flight operations due to profitability challenges and financial deficits. Despite these hurdles, recent developments in sustainable concepts, particularly for electric aviation, have led to the decision to keep the airport operational and modernize it. Thanks to the intensive collaboration between the airport and amd.sigma, a thorough potential analysis and evaluation of the existing infrastructure were conducted, providing a solid foundation for this decision. We are proud that our expertise played a key role in helping to find a sustainable and forward-thinking solution for the airport. What is particularly gratifying is that our concepts for electric aviation, among other things, were decisive in this outcome. This is not only a major success for the Essen/Mülheim location but also serves as a prototype for the development of all regional airports in Germany. We are excited to actively help shape this groundbreaking path! 🚀✈ #AdvancedAirMobility #ElectricAircraft #SustainableFlight #GreenAviation #FutureOfFlight #AviationInnovation #UrbanAirMobility #AviationTech #ZeroEmissionFlight #ClimateNeutralAviation

Advanced Air Mobility (#AAM) is set to transform the way we navigate our cities and regions. Imagine bypassing traffic with air taxis, enjoying quick connections between airports and city centers or connecting rural regions with urban areas - AAM is making it all possible. In the not-too-distant future, electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (so-called eVTOLs or “air taxis”) will become commercially viable and offer a quiet, eco-friendly and efficient way of transportation. But building this future requires more than just innovative aircraft. It demands a comprehensive and robust ecosystem, including a cutting-edge vertiport infrastructure and seamless integration with existing transport networks. That’s where our expertise comes in 💯. Together with our subsidiary amd.sigma - strategic airport development GmbH and international partners, we are at the forefront of developing this global ecosystem - whether it’s pioneering the development of vertiport-concepts, creating business cases or integrating AAM into the existing airspace.   🔍 Want to Dive Deeper?

Stellt euch vor, ihr fliegt mit einem Luft-Shuttle in kürzester Zeit von Ingolstadt nach München und landet auf einem GOLDBECK-Parkhaus. 🚁 Was nach weit entfernter Zukunftsvision klingt, ist Realität – zumindest digital. 💻😉 Wir freuen uns, bei der von Airbus ins Leben gerufenen #AirMobilityInitiative dabei zu sein. Sie forscht gemeinsam mit amd.sigma - strategic airport development GmbH und Munich Airport International seit einem Jahr an der Revolution des Stadt- und Flughafenverkehrs. Ein Schlüsselelement hierbei sind #Vertiports. Sie ermöglichen das senkrechte Starten und Landen von eVTOLs. Diese wiederum könnten als Shuttle-Verbindungen zwischen einzelnen Großstädten eingesetzt werden. Am Beispiel unserer GOLDBECK-Parkhäuser zeigte der Forschungsverbund auf, wie diese Vision Realität werden kann. Unsere Parkhäuser in Systembauweise sorgen dafür, dass die Infrastruktur für den Lufttransport effizient genutzt werden kann. Auch hilft sie dabei, Baukosten zu reduzieren. Der Mehrwert Nr. 1 ist aber, dass unsere Systemparkhäuser skalierbar sind. So könnten Vertiports fester Bestandteil unserer Parkhauskonzepte werden. Wir freuen uns, Teil dieser Initiative zu sein und die Weiterentwicklung der Advanced Air Mobility zu unterstützen. 💪 #goldbeck #buildingexcellence #airbus #advancedairmobility

We are excited to share an insightful article by Adam Symalla, Managing Director of amd.sigma, on the impact of trends and new technologies on future-proof airport planning. ✈🌐 Please follow the link to access the article, available in German: https://lnkd.in/g4iz-thg

+++ New Horizons for #AdvancedAirMobility (AAM): Vertiports on Parking Structures +++ AAM promises a revolution in urban and airport-related transport. A key element of this development are #Vertiports to enable vertical take-off and landings of eVTOLs. However, available land in urban and terminal-proximate areas is scarce and expensive.   An innovative solution lies in integrating Vertiports on parking structures. This concept offers several advantages:   Efficient Use of Infrastructure: Parking structures are already a profitable source of revenue. The land cost for the Vertiport is therefore only a fraction of the total.   Temporal Flexibility: The functionality of the Vertiport can be adjusted flexibly, making the investment less risky.   Reduced Construction Costs and Accelerated Implementation: With GOLDBECK, Europe’s number one in serial construction, we have a partner that enables us to implement construction reliably and cost-effectively.   Sustainability and Efficiency: The use of prefabricated modular components meets modern sustainability standards and ensures fast, safe construction.   Scalability and Risk Management: Vertiports could be realized on any new parking structure and at virtually any location, offering high scalability and manageable financial risks.   Through an intensive 1-yr research and planning approach in the frame of the #AirMobilityInitative lead by Airbus, amd.sigma and Munich Airport International have achieved an impressive result within a year. The key outcome is: A hybrid building for Vertiport-parking and office use can indeed be built serially! it even creates a new asset-class of building typology.   This insight opens new doors for urban mobility. Vertiports could soon be available everywhere, from new parking structures at airports to central urban locations. The era of #ElectricAviation is on the horizon! Just ask us... #UrbanAirMobility #SustainableAviation #FutureOfTransport #Airbus #Goldbeck #MunichAirportInternational
