Korean Air and Skyports Infrastructure are to collaborate on the development of a vertiport, contributing their experience in flight operations, air traffic management, and infrastructure. Announcing the partnership on February 27 at the Drone Show Korea in Busan, the airline and the UK-based group did not identify a location for the facility, which will be used “to conduct joint demonstrations and pilot programs in regions identified for early advanced air mobility commercialization.”

The concept will combine Korean Air’s ACROSS (Air Control & Routing Orchestrated Skyway System), first developed in 2024 for low-altitude applications. The carrier said its operating system will enable “comprehensive advanced air mobility fleet operations” applicable to eVTOLs, drones, and helicopters.
