Urban-Air Port lands Supernal investment

The funding aims to deliver on the companies’ shared vision of integrating advanced air mobility (AAM) into existing transit networks and creating a seamless passenger journey. It will help to support UAP’s plans to develop 200 vertiport sites globally in the next five years.

Urban-Air Port plans to provide essential infrastructure through its vertiports to help enable mass adoption of eVTOL aircraft - cargo drones and air taxis - and Air-One, the world’s first fully operational hub for eVTOLs, will open for public viewing in Coventry City Centre in April.

The demonstration aims to show how AAM can unlock the potential of sustainable mobility and how the industry will work to reduce congestion and air pollution, and decarbonise transport.

This landmark investment is the first time a major eVTOL company has invested in an AAM ground infrastructure developer. Urban Air-Port has also appointed Adam Slepian, global head of partnerships & business development at Supernal, to its board of directors. Matthew Sattler, head of infrastructure and ecosystems partnerships at Supernal joins UAP’s board of advisors.
