      • ProblemTransportation

      "The current transportation infrastructure is congested and inefficient, especially in urban areas. This leads to delays, pollution, and a lack of accessibility for many people."

      Solution

      "Skyports is building a network of vertiports, which are landing pads for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, to provide a new, efficient, and sustainable mode of transportation in cities. These vertiports will enable the safe and efficient operation of air taxis and cargo drones, reducing congestion and pollution while providing faster and more convenient travel options."
