Jaunt Broadens Access Skyways eVTOL Initiative with Airport Group Avports
Avports, which has been managing and operating airports for 95 years and runs 30 facilities around the U.S., wants to help pave the way for commercial eVTOL aircraft operations.
U.S. airport management group Avports this week signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to join Jaunt Air Mobility’s Access Skyways initiative to lay the groundwork for commercial operations of Jaunt’s family of eVTOL aircraft. Avports said it will help airport owners, government agencies, and other stakeholders to implement the steps needed to make air transport more environmentally sustainable.
Jaunt launched the Access Skyways initiative in October 2020 as an alliance for companies focused on developing the required infrastructure for eVTOL flights, including vertiports. It is working to bring its Journey air taxi vehicle into commercial service in 2026, offering a range of 80 to 100 miles with a pilot and four passengers on board.
