The initiative is a significant step towards launching commercial advanced air mobility services in time for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Ferrovial will develop and operate zero-carbon air transport infrastructure to enhance urban and regional connectivity throughout the country.

A new company, called Urban Blue, has been launched by airports in Rome, Nice, Venice and Bologna to accelerate urban air mobility infrastructures internationally.

The partnership will enable SEA Milan Airports and Skyports to explore the deployment of vehicle-agnostic, scalable and cost effective vertiports across Italy.
