Malaysia Airports Corporation cooperates with Skyports and Volocopte to study eVTOL drone take-off and landing facilities

[Reported by evtol website on July 21, 2021] Malaysia Airports Corporation has signed an agreement with Volocopter, a developer of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and Skyports, a developer of aviation infrastructure, to jointly study the vertical of urban air traffic Take-off and landing facilities.

The two parties plan to conduct a feasibility study at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) in Malaysia to verify the vertical take-off and landing solution of eVTOL air taxis, including market demand, passenger flow, and urban air transportation resource integration. The cooperation agreement will explore the possibility of developing urban air services at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport and other airports in Malaysia. Malaysia Airports Group currently operates 39 airports.

Christian Bauer, Chief Commercial Officer of Volocopter, said: “The Southeast Asian market is one of the largest and most promising markets for urban air transportation because of its geographical layout and dense population. Our feasibility study will help us understand market needs, customer expectations and airports. The integrated solution can be applied to other airports in Southeast Asia."
