UrbanV and Japan Airport Consultants (JAC) Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance AAM Infrastructure
International vertiport network operator UrbanV and Japan's leading aviation consultancy Japan Airport Consultants, Inc. (JAC) have formally announced a strategic partnership to jointly plan and develop Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) infrastructure in Japan and other markets.
Background
UrbanV specializes in building and operating vertiport networks designed to provide ground-support infrastructure for eVTOL air taxi services. JAC is a respected authority in Japanese airport planning and consulting, with extensive experience in airport design and aviation infrastructure development.
The partnership combines UrbanV's international track record in vertiport network deployment with JAC's in-depth knowledge of the local Japanese market. Together, the two organizations will explore and advance the practical implementation of AAM ecosystems.
Strategic Significance
The Japanese government has been actively promoting its "Air Mobility Revolution" initiative, positioning eVTOL air taxis as a key pillar of future transportation and setting clear commercialization milestones. The UrbanV–JAC partnership directly aligns with Japan's AAM policy direction and is expected to accelerate the development of supporting infrastructure and regulatory alignment.
Beyond the domestic Japanese market, the alliance aims to extend its collaboration to the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, working toward the creation of an interoperable global vertiport network.
