UrbanV and PAX Aeroportos, concessionaire of Campo de Marte and Jacarepaguá airports, are collaborating to develop Advanced Air Mobility in Brazil with a testbed for innovative solutions in real-world conditions.
UrbanV and PAX Aeroportos, the concessionaire of Campo de Marte and Jacarepaguá airports in Brazil, have been selected by ANAC (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil) to implement a regulatory sandbox at Campo de Marte Airport (São Paulo).
This strategic initiative to develop Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in Brazil will create a testbed for innovative solutions under real-world conditions. The regulatory sandbox will ensure that these solutions meet safety, efficiency, and regulatory standards before their broader implementation.
“PAX Aeroportos operates two airports with strategic locations in the two largest capitals of Brazil,” said Rogério Prado, CEO, PAX Aeroportos. “Our operations are primarily focused on business and general aviation and our existing clientele is aligned with the future demand for eVTOL travel in urban areas. Therefore, we have important assets to help develop the Advanced Air Mobility business, and our partnership with UrbanV in the regulatory sandbox process will allow us to contribute with our expertise in the definition of the framework for vertiport infrastructure design and implementation in Brazil.”
The testing scope will encompass the definition of design criteria for vertiports, passenger processing analysis, and the seamless integration of eVTOLs (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft) into existing airport infrastructure.
UrbanV and PAX Aeroportos are committed to jointly developing vertiport infrastructure at Campo de Marte and Jacarepaguá airports, with plans to explore the construction and operation of additional vertiports in the São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro regions. This partnership represents a key step towards the establishment of a more efficient, sustainable, and innovative urban and regional air mobility ecosystem in Brazil.
“At UrbanV, we aim to improve people’s lives by enabling a fast, efficient, safe, and clean alternative to existing transport solutions for people and goods over short distances, by air,” said Carlo Tursi, CEO, UrbanV. “We have the ambition to become a major global operator of vertiport networks and we will be global pioneers in establishing some of the first AAM routes worldwide. We are excited to partner with PAX Aeroportos, an important player in airport management, and we look forward to exploring together with them the great potential of Advanced Air Mobility in Brazil.”
