Skyway Technologies (Skyway), a vertiport infrastructure and planning company in the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) industry, and Berg Holdings (BH), a Sausalito-based Bay Area real estate developer, have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of a comprehensive network of UAM vertiports in the Bay Area and elsewhere in Northern California.
The companies say that key locations within their vertiport network rollout plan will support eVTOL industry development and convenient and speedy passenger and cargo delivery between Mountain View, Marin County, Sonoma County, San Jose, and locations along the East Bay I-680 corridor. The second stage of development the companies say will include other complementary and necessary locations in the Bay Area and throughout Northern California. Each vertiport site will be designed to support relevant UAM use cases specific to that location, to provide required levels of service, to be integrated into the existing legacy airspace traffic, and to be agnostic to eVTOL vehicles, and will be intended to be certified by the FAA and in place to support anticipated certified commercial eVTOL flight coming mid/late 2025.
“Skyway and Berg Holdings see the slow-paced UAM infrastructure development marketplace as a unique opportunity to leverage Berg Holdings’ substantial real estate portfolio for ideal UAM vertiport destinations” according to the press release. “BH views the partnership with Skyway and its comprehensive vertiport solutions set as a path to maximising its market share, allowing Skyway to deliver the necessary UAM technology services to plan for and operate vertiport facilities while constantly analysing other potential locations that benefit ideal regional and community UAM vertiport development strategies. This partnership will leverage Skyway’s extensive knowledge in vertiport site selection, further expanding the scope of its vertiport infrastructure planning practice.”
