A National Strategy for Advanced Air Mobility | Bloomberg Businessweek

US Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy last week unveiled the country's first ever "Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) National Strategy," setting up a roadmap to help accelerate American aviation innovation and transform our skies. AAM is a rapidly-emerging aerospace sector focused on safely and efficiently integrating highly automated aircraft into US airspace. It involves a range of innovations — particularly new aircraft types that typically operate below 5,000 feet — to transport people and packages more efficiently than ever before.

Another key component of this initiative is infrastructure, and that's where Lisa Wright comes in. The Founder and CEO of Landings is focused on her firm's plan to develop a network of rural vertiports that expand access to advanced air mobility across the US. She explains how her firm's potential has quickly grown as the conversation moves from one-off vertiport projects to multi-site networks. She believes that stakeholders now see the strategic advantage of building coordinated, regional vertiport systems that can support cargo, emergency services, and eventually passenger movement — not just isolated landing pads. Lisa speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.
