Our story

Skyports builds the infrastructure that makes Advanced Air Mobility safe,
efficient, and real.

Vision

Skyports connects urban centers through a network of skyports, redefining how people move across cities.

Foundation

Built for cities, designed for the sky

Founded in 2018, Skyports Infrastructure came out of a realisation that electrification was changing transportation.

If aircraft, particularly helicopters, could be electrified, it would mean lower noise and costs - revolutionising access to city centres.

Landing in dense urban environments would have infrastructure demands – a problem that wasn’t being solved.

The path from vision to operational reality

From concept to operation, we've built something real. Each milestone marks another step towards making Advanced Air Mobility a reality in cities worldwide.
