UrbanV and Pax Aeroportos to co-develop vertiports at São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro airports

The deal moves vertiports from concept to airport‑integrated projects in Brazil’s two largest cities, signaling a shift toward operational AAM infrastructure and scalable eVTOL services; it follows real‑world UAM traffic coordination trials in São Paulo ([source:7777ca4c-182b-430e-8df4-d318b1277efe]).

Embedding vertiports at major airports ties AAM to existing airspace, ground operations and regulatory frameworks, mirroring recent international rollouts and partnerships that highlight the need for coordinated ATC, safety and commercial arrangements ([source:f7c59221-99a1-48dd-9eee-10216e517502]) ([source:253098d1-3c27-4b53-89ec-c809b8ae6c5d]).
