Singapore’s Seletar Aerospace Park is poised to become a hub for the development of advanced air mobility (AAM) services based on new partnership agreements with eVTOL aircraft manufacturer Volocopter and vertiport developer Skyports. Under memorandums of understanding signed at this week’s Singapore Airshow, the companies will explore options for using the 320-hectare Seletar site, which is already home to more than 60 aviation-related companies.

The Singapore Economic Development Board has indicated that the long-term master plan for the Seletar complex, which includes a commercial airport mainly served by business aircraft, will now emphasize AAM activities. Volocopter and other companies have indicated that eVTOL air taxi services could be launched in the country by 2024.
