AutoFlight Selected for Hong Kong's Inaugural 'Regulatory Sandbox X' Flight Trial Programme
Leading eVTOL manufacturer AutoFlight has been selected to participate in Hong Kong's first-ever 'Regulatory Sandbox X' flight trial programme. The initiative marks a significant step in Hong Kong's push to develop an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem, allowing companies to conduct real-world flight tests within a controlled regulatory framework before formal rules are fully established.
Highlights
- AutoFlight has been selected to join Hong Kong's inaugural Regulatory Sandbox X flight trial programme for eVTOL aircraft.
- Regulatory Sandbox X provides a controlled regulatory environment for real-world flight testing before formal aviation rules are fully enacted in Hong Kong.
- The programme is part of Hong Kong's broader strategy to develop an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem in the city.
- AutoFlight's selection highlights the company's standing as a global leader in the eVTOL sector and supports its path toward commercial operations in Hong Kong.
Global electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft manufacturer AutoFlight has been selected to participate in Hong Kong's inaugural Regulatory Sandbox X flight trial programme.
The selection grants AutoFlight the opportunity to conduct eVTOL flight testing and validation under a special experimental framework established by Hong Kong regulators, laying the groundwork for future commercial operations in the city.
What Is Regulatory Sandbox X?
Regulatory Sandbox X is a supervisory trial mechanism introduced by Hong Kong to advance innovative aviation technologies. It is designed to provide industry players with a controlled environment in which to carry out actual flight tests before a full formal regulatory framework is in place, thereby accelerating the development of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem.
AutoFlight's Participation
As a globally recognised leader in the eVTOL sector, AutoFlight's inclusion in the city's first cohort of the programme underscores both the company's technical credentials and Hong Kong's strategic ambition to position itself as a hub for future urban air mobility.
The participation is expected to pave the way for commercial eVTOL operations in Hong Kong, contributing to the broader regional development of AAM infrastructure.
