UrbanV is planning vertiports in Italy, the French Riviera and beyond

Future partnerships will support electrification of premium tourist routes in the regions with vertiport infrastructure. FIUMICINO, Rome, June 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Electric mobility is taking shape in Italy and the French Riviera. UrbanV, a leader in vertiport design and management, has announced its intention for the development of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) infrastructure. The vertiport infrastructures will enable eVTOL networks with an initial focus on Italy and the French Riviera, where UrbanV will launch its operations, with potential for further markets in the future. UrbanV brings efficient and sustainable advanced air mobility to urban centers with its extensive design and infrastructure expertise for the development of vertiports in key airport access in Rome, Venice, Bologna, Nice, Cannes, St. Tropez, and surrounding areas. Initial focus will be on creating the infrastructure to enable first sustainable eVTOL routes. Vertiports – take-off and landing areas for eVTOL aircraft the size of a helipad – are a key component in realizing the enormous potential of eVTOLs. Vertiports provide access to sustainable, high speed, and affordable services to connect communities. UrbanV will facilitate the movement of people more rapidly and efficiently. Ivan Bassato, Chairman of UrbanV said: “At UrbanV, we aim to improve people’s lives by enabling a fast, efficient, safe, and clean alternative to existing transport solutions. With our vertiport networks, we are building a technology-agnostic platform for operators to provide new and innovative zero-emission transport services.”
