SkyDrive has announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), a government organization and affiliate of the Department of Municipalities and Transport that oversees and manages the overall transportation system in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (UAE). ITC is going to introduce the SkyDrive type SD-05 model eVTOL as a means of transportation in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, according to a SkyDrive press release.
“Under the leadership of the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), the Emirate has launched a comprehensive initiative encompassing regulatory framework development, vertiport and charging infrastructure planning, and extensive feasibility studies—positioning Abu Dhabi to become one of the world’s first cities to launch commercial eVTOL operations,” said SkyDrive. “This partnership between SkyDrive and ITC represents a pivotal step toward realizing this vision. The collaboration will focus on three key pillars: establishing a comprehensive eVTOL ecosystem in Abu Dhabi, developing critical infrastructure including vertiports and charging stations, and conducting thorough commercialization feasibility studies for the “SKYDRIVE (SD-05)” aircraft.”
