South Korean AAM firms pool resources
The main goal of the business partnership is to generate new business opportunities and boost the growth of the AAM ecosystem. As part of the agreement, the two companies will share information and discuss routes.
Plana CEO Braden J Kim signed an MOU with Moviation CEO Shin Min to grow the AAM ecosystem.

AAM hybrid aircraft developer Plana has entered into a business partnership with Moviation, the South Korean company behind Vonaer, to foster mutual growth.

Moviation is a local UAM service startup that introduced its urban air mobility service platform Vonaer in February this year. It offers various services for user convenience, such as booking and using air vehicles like helicopters and eVTOLs, via the Vonaer app, linking with ground transportation services and running lounges.

The business partnership ceremony took place at Plana's headquarters in Giheung-gu, Yongin. In attendance were Plana CEO Braden J Kim and Moviation CEO Shin Min.

The main goal of the business partnership is to generate new business opportunities and boost the growth of the AAM ecosystem. As part of the agreement, the two companies will share information and discuss routes, cabin configurations and customer experience to optimise end-customer satisfaction. The companies will also look for potential opportunities in the AAM business to attain mutual benefits and shared growth.

“We are excited to improve the satisfaction of our future passengers based on the infrastructure and data accumulated by Moviation,” says Kim. “We hope that this MOU will help us expand the domestic AAM market.”

“This partnership is very meaningful to us as two Korean startups have formed a cooperative relationship in the AAM market, which is dominated by various large companies,” adds Min. “We hope it will send a message to all those involved in the industry to cooperate.”
