Eve and Skyports will develop AAM CONOPS for Japan
Eve has partnered with Skyports in a number of concepts worldwide. The latest sees the two companies develop a vision of airspace design, operation and infrastructure to enable AAM operation in Japan.
Eve and Skyport are collaborating with JAL and Kanematsu Corp on AAM in Japan.

Eve UAM and eVTOL infrastructure developer Skyports are to work together on the development of a new Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for advanced air mobility (AAM), including urban air mobility (UAM), for the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB). The initiative aims to provide a shared vision of airspace design, operation, infrastructure and other benefits to enable AAM operation in Japan.

Skyports CEO Duncan Walker says: “Our partnership with Eve continues to provide an important means of helping authorities around the world understand and develop the optimum conditions to enable commercial electric air taxi operations. We are honoured to be able to bring our unique knowledge of infrastructure provision to bear for JCAB to accelerate the adoption of advanced air mobility across Japan.”

The collaboration involves partners including Kanematsu Corporation, the major Japanese trading company with businesses in the aerospace industry, and Japan Airlines (JAL).

Eve has partnered with Skyports in multiple and diverse concepts worldwide, forming a cooperation that examines the AAM ecosystem required for distinctive operating environments across the globe. This unique experience benefits the preparation of Japan's CONOPS and ensures that the needs of users, the Japanese community and other stakeholders will be taken into account.

“We are excited about partnering with Skyports on this new project that will introduce sustainable advanced air mobility to Japan. Our collaborations have successfully designed distinct and optimised mobility ecosystems across the world, and we look forward to using this experience to help JCAB establish the CONOPS for Japan,” adds Eve CEO Andre Stein.

Eve has been dedicated to safely enabling and scaling the AAM ecosystem globally. Its holistic portfolio of solutions include an eVTOL, a comprehensive global services and support network and an air traffic management solution.
