Even in a week when the UK government is backtracking on its earlier commitments to take a leadership role in net zero decarbonization efforts, the country is viewed as a potential early adopter of electric aviation. It is in this spirit that advanced air mobility consultant EA Maven recently released a study looking at how public transportation links between communities could be transformed by new aircraft, including eVTOL vehicles and subregional airplanes.
The findings of the new UK City Air Mobility Index are based on current “mobility data” from which EA Maven partners Darrell Swanson and Jarek Zych seek to map out opportunities for new types of urban air services and new markets for commuter or domestic airlines. In fact, the consultants say their conclusions are relevant to those proposing to keep using fossil fuel-powered aircraft as well as to those planning to employ new carbon-free types.
