Saudi Arabia's roadmap to air mobility inked......

The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) of Saudi Arabia and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVOTL) manufacturer Lilium have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) at the Farnborough International Airshow to support GACA’s development of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) solutions in the Kingdom.

The agreement further strengthens GACA’s engagement with global companies to bring new aviation mobility solutions to Saudi Arabia. GACA is working across the industry to ensure Saudi Arabia has a set of regulations that encourages growth, ensures the highest levels of safety and puts the passenger first. 

His Excellency Abdulaziz Al-Duailej, President of GACA, said  “This agreement reflects GACA’s commitment to advancing innovative and sustainable air mobility solutions for Saudi Arabia, in support of Vision 2030.

By working with global advanced air mobility companies, we aim to establish a robust regulatory framework that ensures the safe and efficient operation of eVTOL aircraft."

GACA has developed a comprehensive national roadmap for AAM with contributions from stakeholders and companies across the world. This roadmap outlines the necessary enablers and governance required to ensure the safe and efficient deployment of AAM technologies. The roadmap's implementation phase will focus on integrating eVTOL operations with traditional aviation systems and other modes of transportation.
