A snapshot of the meeting held in the Ágora Room
Ineco received a Japanese delegation this Thursday at its headquarters in Madrid from the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) (under the Ministry of Transport of Japan) and the company Japan Airport Consultants (JAC), as part of their official visit to Spain to learn first-hand about the state of development of the national Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem, with special interest in the deployment of vertiports.
During the meeting, the Japanese representatives were able to learn about Ineco's experience in the planning, design, and regulation of aeronautical infrastructures, as well as its involvement in various strategic projects of vertiports and innovative air mobility, such as ESCAI - Space for Innovative Commercial Air Services. The event also provided a platform to address the key technical and regulatory challenges facing the sector( both nationally and internationally) in the integration of new electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft into the airspace
This visit strengthens the ties between Spain and Japan in the field of technological innovation applied to air transport and highlights Ineco's role as a key player in promoting sustainable and safe solutions for the mobility of the future.
