Urban Air Mobility as a Catalyst for Seamless Multimodal Connectivity in Cities

As cities advance into smarter, more interconnected environments, Urban Air Mobility (UAM) including air taxis, marks a significant breakthrough in urban transportation. Positioned as a major innovation shaping the future of mobility, UAM has the potential to redefine how people and goods move within cities. From passenger air taxis to drone-based logistics, it offers opportunities for faster, more adaptable, and more connected travel solutions. To fully realize its potential, UAM should be developed alongside and in coordination with public transport systems and mobility services, enabling it to contribute effectively to a well-connected, efficient, and sustainable urban mobility network.

The event will bring together public sector leaders, urban mobility experts, air mobility pioneers, infrastructure stakeholders, and researchers to explore UAM can be effectively integrated with public transport systems. It provides a platform for highlighting the intersection of urban air mobility and public transport, a conversation that will discuss UAM’s sustainability and scalability. By focusing on multimodal integration, this event positions UAM not as an isolated service, but as a vital component of the broader mobility landscape, enhancing access, reducing congestion, and ensuring environmental responsibility.

What is the Objective of the Workshop?

• Bring together authorities, operators, infrastructure providers, and E-VTOL OEMs to align visions, share best practices, and address common challenges.
• Explore integration opportunities with public transport, particularly for first and last mile connectivity.
• Identify strategies for integrating UAM seamlessly with public transport networks and active mobility systems, ensuring accessibility and efficiency.

• Public transport authorities
• Civil aviation and regulatory authorities
• Urban mobility policymakers
• eVTOL and drone OEMs
• Infrastructure developers and operators
• Technology solution providers
• Researchers and academic experts

Urban Air Mobility is moving from vision to reality, and this workshop is about shaping how it will fit into the wider transport ecosystem. Rather than only seeing air taxis and drones as isolated innovations, the discussion will focus on how they can work seamlessly alongside public transport and active mobility systems to deliver real value for cities and their people.

This is where strategic thinking meets practical integration; the workshop will also explore how UAM can:

• Strengthen first and last mile connections without duplicating costly infrastructure
• Enhance network efficiency through coordinated planning between ground and air systems
• Reduce congestion and optimise travel flows
• Build scalable models that align with the realities of city planning, regulation, and passenger behaviour

If you want to be part of the blueprint for a future where air and ground mobility work as one, this is the conversation to join.
