Skyports Infrastructure

Today we announce $110 million in new funding and introduce ACS Infrastructure as a new investor. At the close of our Series C, we also welcome additional funding from our long-time partner and investor Groupe ADP. This investment follows a strong start to 2024 that has seen us announce a world-first commercial air taxi project in Dubai and a vertiport testbed project in the UK. With this new funding we will deliver on our Dubai vertiport network project, building essential infrastructure for the launch of air taxi services by 2026. The funding will also support the development of critical enabling technologies for our global vertiport operations. Duncan Walker, CEO of Skyports, said: “With ACS backing, we are in the best possible position to advance commercial air taxi and electric drone services around the world. “Investment from a world-class transport infrastructure leader serves as an endorsement of Skyports’ initiatives and underscores the immense potential of the market. Having ACS INFRA as a substantial shareholder in the company, together with their significant cash investment, puts Skyports in a market leading position, which will allow us to continue growing and enabling new aviation services.” Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/ebJNysjf Grupo ACS | Iridium Concesiones de Infraestructuras, S.A.

Skyports, SEA Milano, 2i Aeroporti Launch “VEGA Joint Venture.” Skyports Infrastructure, a leader in vertiport development for the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) industry, announced this week a collaboration with SEA Milan (owner of Milan’s airports) and 2i Aeroporti (Italian airport investment company controlled by F2i Funds management), reports a press release.

Today we announce VEGA, a joint venture company formed in partnership with SEA Milan Airports and 2i Aeroporti SpA to advance the AAM ecosystem across Milan and the wider Lombardy region. VEGA – Vertical Gateway – focuses on the deployment of critical vertiport infrastructure networks to pave the way for the introduction of air taxi services. The first objective of the JV is to launch operations between Malpensa Airport and central Milan. VEGA will then focus on scaling operations to other parts of Lombardy and potentially other Italian regions. Damian Kysely, Director, VEGA and Head of EMEA at Skyports Infrastructure, said: "The formation of VEGA is a significant milestone in Skyports’ mission to bring air taxi operations to northern Italy. This joint venture underscores our commitment to building the infrastructure needed to make advanced air mobility a reality for Milan and Lombardy. With VEGA, we’re not only developing efficient, low emission transport solutions for passengers and cargo, but also positioning the region as a leader in Europe’s AAM future.” Paolo Cappello, Chief Executive Officer of VEGA, said: “This joint venture brings together key aviation stakeholders to transform transportation at the heart of Italy’s business and industrial capital. With VEGA, we are delivering cutting-edge electric vertical aviation technology, creating faster, cleaner connections between urban centres, airports, and other important hubs of economic activity and tourism. With such strong partners involved in these efforts, we are in the best possible position to achieve Italy’s AAM ambitions.” #AAM #Italy #vertiports #airtaxi
