Skyportz Opens Crowdfunding Investment Offer to Build Ground Infrastructure Network
The company is backed by partners including Nexa Capital and Arup in its plans to develop vertiports for air taxi and drone delivery operations.

Australian advanced air mobility (AAM) group Skyportz has launched what it says is the world’s first crowdfunding investment offer to support its plans to develop the ground infrastructure needed to support commercial eVTOL aircraft operations. The initial offer is open through the end of September 13.

Since 2018, Melbourne-based Skyportz has been working on plans to establish an AAM ecosystem for air taxi passenger and drone freight deliveries in Australia. That year, it was part of a team bidding for Uber Elevate to select the city as a test location for its planned eVTOL network.
