Akihabara News (Tokyo) – Skyports, a UK-based mobility company, has been invited to share its eVTOL (flying car) expertise to assist with the Osaka Prefecture Super City, a project launched in 2020 to pioneer the city life of the future.
Skyports is developing and operating landing infrastructure for the electric air taxi revolution as well as operating cargo drone deliveries. It has been accepted as one of five organizations to provide expertise on flying cars to Osaka Prefecture. Partnering with Kanematsu Corporation, Skyports hopes to play a significant role in the development of Japanese infrastructure and drone delivery services.
The company is gaining momentum as it has also been invited to contribute in Osaka Prefecture’s “Green Table,” a collaborative platform with the purpose of accelerating the commercialization of Japan’s advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem.
According to Skyports Chief Executive Officer Duncan Walker, “Our knowledge of locating, designing, building, and operating infrastructure for air taxis and drone deliveries is second to none.” He believes that they have been rightfully selected to work on Osaka’s project.
Osaka Prefecture is aiming to be a model smart city by implementing cutting-edge services and establishing its place as a world leader in advanced technology.
More information will be announced about the Osaka Super City later this year.
