Launching Dubai’s commercial AAM network: operations, integration and infrastructure

This session will examine the progress of Dubai’s commercial AAM network, with insight shared by the project’s three main stakeholders. The session will look at the milestones achieved thus far from an operational, regulatory and development perspective, and consider what the next 18 months of effort will look like ahead of the 2026 launch goal.

The audience will learn:

• Dubai's approach to vertiport development and AAM
• Dubai's regulatory landscape – first jurisdiction with AAM regs
• What the roadmap for commercial launch looks like
• Why network development needs to be the priority, not individual projects
