UrbanV, an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) infrastructure company, has signed a joint venture (JV) agreement with Signature Aviation to develop vertiports across the U.S., specifically in Florida, New York, California, and Texas.
“This joint venture agreement is a major step in the development of AAM infrastructure for the United States,” said Carlo Tursi, CEO at UrbanV. “We have the ambition to become a major global operator of vertiport networks and we will pioneer the establishment of some of the first AAM routes. By leveraging UrbanV’s expertise in vertiport development and Signature Aviation’s established network of private aviation terminals, we are laying the foundations for seamless, efficient, and sustainable short-distance aerial transport in the United States.”
The collaboration will focus on evaluating the economic viability and technical feasibility of building and managing vertiports, and will assess network planning, demand potential, infrastructure feasibility, operational integration and financial modelling for site selection. It will also see Signature Aviation integrate vertiports within its network of private aviation terminals.
“Our partnership with UrbanV elevates our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and most importantly, our guests,” commented Tony Lefebvre, Chief Executive Officer, Signature Aviation. “As we bring together our expertise, resources, and strategy, we’re focused on driving the adoption of advanced air mobility, while also establishing the safe, seamless, and efficient infrastructure needed for the development of vertiports.”
