The field of Advanced Air Mobility is a promising industry, which is why manufacturers, operators, and service providers are making intensive efforts globally. eVTOLs for transporting goods, cargo, and people, like commercially used UAS, generate added value for society and economic benefits. Drones and “air taxis” also contribute to the electrification and digitalization of aviation.

However, many open tasks remain regarding regulation, infrastructure, and certification. At this point, Europe must act quickly and resolutely to be internationally competitive and enable the development of a leading global industry. But what is specifically needed?

Freshta Farzam, CEO & Founder of LYTE Aviation, and Dr. Saskia Horsch, VP Global Regulatory & Public Affairs at Lilium, will discuss the state of the industry and the next crucial steps to implement Advanced Air Mobility in Europe and abroad. Dr.-Ing. Daniel Phiesel from the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport will host the town hall debate „What does it need to make AAM happen?“ at the EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM in Düsseldorf.
