The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is set to kick off the first Advanced Air Mobility Symposium (AAM 2024), to be held on 9-12 September 2024 in Montréal, Canada. Marking the beginning of the event, the opening session titled "Welcome to the World of eVTOL Operations" is poised to offer an insightful commencement to the symposium's agenda. Ask a random sampling of symposium participants, "Name some eVTOL operations?" and you are likely to get many varied responses. This session will put that question to a select group of senior aviation experts. Confirmed speakers: H.E. Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy, United Arab Emirates Jaiwon Shin, President, Hyundai Motor Company (현대자동차) and CEO, Supernal Johann C. Bordais, CEO, Eve Air Mobility Balkiz Sarihan, CEO and Head of UAM, Airbus Session moderated by Anna von Groote, Director General, EUROCAE 📌 Event Details: Date: 9-12 September 2024 Location: Montréal, Canada As one of the first panels of AAM 2024, it sets the tone for the symposium, inviting participants to delve into the future of air mobility.

The Singapore airshow was buzzing! Things were back in full swing, and this time with an increased focus on #sustainableaviation. Advanced Air Mobility (#AAM) will lead this frontier with new #zero-operating emission flight, and was strongly featured at this year’s airshow conferences. Comparing with the last airshow in 2022, there was now a growing industry consensus on “when” AAM will enter-into-service and not “if”. For #APAC, there continues to be upbeat sentiment on the AAM market potential, and discussions centred on #certification and regulatory alignment, #commercialization, and navigating market nuances. Vertical Aerospace had a fruitful week, together with Chief Commercial & Strategy Officer Andrew Macmillan, where we met with our customers (AirAsia, Marubeni Corporation), government, partners, and industry friends from around the world. We took the opportunity to share on our plans for demo flying at the Farnborough International airshow later this year, and internationally in 2025. This year is going to be #landmark year for eVTOL companies and certainly for Vertical in our advancement of our flight test campaign and certification milestones. The Singapore airshow brought about a great meeting of minds and gave us a flying start to the year!

**A Milestone Moment at Singapore Airshow 2024: Vietjet's Leap into the Future with Airbus A330neo Deal** In a groundbreaking announcement that's setting the tone for the future of aviation, Vietjet and Airbus Group have unveiled a partnership that's about to change the game. At the heart of this collaboration? An order for 20 state-of-the-art A330neo (A330-900) aircraft. Why is this significant? For starters, it marks Vietjet's most ambitious step into the wide-body aircraft realm, making it a highlight of this year's Singapore Airshow. But it's more than just numbers. These aircraft are set to redefine Vietjet's long-range network, connecting high-demand destinations across the region with unprecedented efficiency. The transition from the leased A330-300 fleet to the A330neo is not just an upgrade. It's a strategic move towards operational excellence, embracing the future with open arms. Christian Scherer of Airbus puts it best, "The A330neo will propel Vietjet into its next expansion phase, achieving unmatched operating costs per seat and continuing to deliver exceptional value to its customers." Mr Dinh Viet Phuong from Vietjet echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the strategic addition of the A330neo to modernize and enhance operational capacities. "It's a leap towards our sustainable development strategy, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050," he remarks, underscoring the commitment to a greener future. With Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines powering these birds, the A330-900 promises a non-stop range of 7,200nm/13,300km. This is more than just a statistic; it's a testament to the global reach and environmental commitment Vietjet is striving for. As of January 2024, the A330 family's legacy is undeniable, boasting 1,771 orders from over 130 customers. And as Vietjet joins this prestigious club, it's not just about expanding a fleet. It's about embracing innovation, pushing boundaries, and preparing for a future where the sky's not the limit but the beginning. Vietjet's journey is taking off, and we're here for it. 🚀 #VietjetAir #VietJetAirCargo #Airbus #A330neo #AviationInnovation #SustainableTravel #SingaporeAirshow2024

It was a privilege to be on the panel with Andrew Margolis Ciaran O'Sullivan Sanjeev K Steven Dickson. Steven’ well thought questions kept us and the audience highly engaged and there was great learning from the senior airport leaders on the huge potential, challenges and complexity in creating a technology ecosystem at airports. A key pain point that kept surfacing during the discussion was #disruption and the need for all stakeholders to work together by leveraging on technology for #paxrecovery, #aircraftturnaround and #schedulerecovery and also damage to the brand. From an #airport perspective The key challenge is getting early information and the promise of technology is #interoperability to proactively manage disruption. Great insight on the #digitaltwin and #acdm programs which give visibility to staff on the move. The main responsibility of #groundhandling is fast aircraft turnaround and we exchanged a passionate perspective on the disconnected airport systems which need to be integrated for fast, secure and efficient turnaround. Great perspective also on Airport and Border processes, increasingly, getting closer with increased interest from Border Control to work closely with airports on Biometric technologies to give a seamless travel experience. I took the opportunity to focus on the travel and traveller perspective where technologies like AI are increasingly being adopted into the travel systems to intelligently plan travel so that travellers are fully cleared for travel even before the journey begins and in a disruption scenario the travel plan adapts to an updated plan…All this is possible through information from planning, booking, reservation, check-in, security, boarding and arrival commute and hotel bookings. Travellers are not just checking in to #airports for flights but increasingly checking into a #travelexperience (https://lnkd.in/d8qzNZ9b) and hence the impact of disruption is much more to brand image.
