Briefing
ST Engineering's 10‑passenger AirFish has entered testing and is targeting commercial entry with BatamFast this year; successful tests and maritime regulator sign‑off are the critical gating items for deployment and revenue generation.
The programme advances sea‑borne low‑altitude passenger transport and aligns with regional AAM and maritime initiatives, building on ST Engineering's broader AAM and autonomy work [source:8753fa0b-bc2a-4a6e-a2e5-46612a5919ad] and recent water‑borne vertiport and sea‑air demonstrations [source:838a33f6-1e1f-4fc8-8051-1982452811cd].
