Vertical Aerospace has appointed Andrew Macmillan, a former senior manager from London Heathrow Airport, as its director of infrastructure to support its efforts to bring its four-passenger eVTOL aircraft into commercial service. In a September 13 announcement, the UK company also said that it has recruited Arnd Mueller, who was formerly with rival advanced air mobility start-up Lilium, to be its chief marketing officer.

Macmillan was with Heathrow for 12 years, most recently as the UK hub airport’s chief strategy officer. He was responsible for strategy, master planning, forecasting, and regulation, including long-term business and investment plans and negotiations with the UK Civil Aviation Authority and airlines.
