Jaunt Air Mobility, PS&S, and Price Systems are joining efforts to advance ground infrastructure for the growing urban air mobility (UAM) industry in preparation for flight operations with customers on board. On October 22, Jaunt's chief commercial officer Simon Briceno announced the new venture, Access Skyways, at the Invest in Bavaria Urban Air Mobility 2020: Future of Urban Air Transport and Logistics conference. PS&S is an architectural firm and Price Systems is a cost-estimation technology company.

According to Briceno, Jaunt has signed a memorandum of understanding with PS&S and Price Systems. “This has been in the works for some time,” he said. “As an eVTOL manufacturer, we recognize the importance of the air mobility ecosystem. We need to make sure we’re ready to provide customers with safe, efficient, reliable transport. There is a lot of work to be done to ensure air mobility operations happen with the safety and reliability we see in today’s commercial industry.”
