Today we announce $110 million in new funding and introduce ACS Infrastructure as a new investor. At the close of our Series C, we also welcome additional funding from our long-time partner and investor Groupe ADP. This investment follows a strong start to 2024 that has seen us announce a world-first commercial air taxi project in Dubai and a vertiport testbed project in the UK. With this new funding we will deliver on our Dubai vertiport network project, building essential infrastructure for the launch of air taxi services by 2026. The funding will also support the development of critical enabling technologies for our global vertiport operations. Duncan Walker, CEO of Skyports, said: “With ACS backing, we are in the best possible position to advance commercial air taxi and electric drone services around the world. “Investment from a world-class transport infrastructure leader serves as an endorsement of Skyports’ initiatives and underscores the immense potential of the market. Having ACS INFRA as a substantial shareholder in the company, together with their significant cash investment, puts Skyports in a market leading position, which will allow us to continue growing and enabling new aviation services.” Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/ebJNysjf Grupo ACS | Iridium Concesiones de Infraestructuras, S.A.

Today we've signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Parkin, Dubai's leading provider of paid public parking. With this MOU, we will collaborate on the provision of parking facilities and explore opportunities to develop vertiport infrastructure across Parkin's extensive network to support the expansion of take-off and landing sites for Dubai's forthcoming commercial air taxi service. Duncan Walker, CEO of Skyports Infrastructure, added: “As the exclusive provider of vertiport infrastructure in Dubai, our partnership with Parkin brings together two companies with highly complementary assets and operations. Access to Parkin’s comprehensive footprint will unlock opportunities to develop our vertiport infrastructure throughout the city, accelerating the adoption of integrated, multimodal transport solutions.
