UrbanV and Pax Aeroportos, concessionaire and operator of two of Brazil’s most strategic urban airports, have signed an agreement to co-develop and integrate vertiport infrastructure at Campo de Marte in São Paulo and Jacarepaguá in Rio de Janeiro.
“The partnership brings together UrbanV’s international expertise in vertiport network design and operations with Pax Aeroportos’ strong operational footprint and long-term vision for urban aviation infrastructure in Brazil, positioning the two airports as future gateway nodes for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM),” said the companies in a joint press release.
“Building on a collaboration already underway in Brazil — started with the establishment of a regulatory sandbox at Campo de Marte in cooperation with ANAC (Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency) — the two companies are adding another building block to their shared roadmap to enable scalable and integrated AAM networks in the country.
“Campo de Marte is expected to serve as a central node within the São Paulo metropolitan area, offering hangar capacity and enabling connections to high-demand locations such as main international airports, Faria Lima, Alphaville, Campinas and Santos. Jacarepaguá is positioned to play a similar role in Rio de Janeiro, offering a key access point for the western part of the city enabling future connections to Copacabana, Niterói and the city’s main airports, and leveraging its importance within Brazil’s executive and helicopter aviation ecosystem.
