UrbanV, a global leader in vertiport infrastructure, and Future Flight Global (FFG), a leading operator of electric aircraft, both pioneers in the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem, announce additional market deployment stemming from their recently established strategic partnership: the development of an AAM network in Brazil, starting in São Paulo.
São Paulo: A Natural Jump‑Start Market
With over 400 helicopters and 200+ helipads, São Paulo hosts the world’s largest civilian rotorcraft fleet, making it a prime launchpad for eVTOL operations. The partnership leverages this existing infrastructure to accelerate the implementation of scalable, sustainable urban and regional air mobility solutions.
The joint network will connect São Paulo’s key urban and regional locations—including Faria Lima, Interlagos, Alphaville, and major airports—and will explore future expansion to other metropolitan areas, such as Rio de Janeiro.
FFG plans to deploy its mixed fleet, including Eve aircraft from Eve Air Mobility, in accordance with a Letter of Intent recently signed with the Embraer-backed eVTOL manufacturer. This advancement demonstrates the shared vision of UrbanV and FFG to catalyze sustainable air mobility through innovation and infrastructure, laying the foundation for the future of flight in Brazil.
UrbanV is already active in Brazil through its collaboration with Pax Aeroportos, including participation in national sandbox regulatory initiatives. The Campo de Marte Airport project, co-developed with Pax, is Brazil’s first vertiport testbed and will serve as the central hub of the planned network.
Carlo Tursi, CEO of UrbanV, stated: “Brazil is one of the most attractive markets worldwide for AAM, and this partnership with FFG allows us to unlock its full potential. By combining our vertiport development expertise with FFG’s operational capabilities and fleet commitment, we aim to deliver a seamless, integrated vertiport network, building the future of mobility.”
Karan Singh, CEO of Future Flight Global, added: “Brazil already leads the world in vertical flight activity, giving it both the readiness and public acceptance for next-generation electric aircraft. We’re proud to deepen our partnership with UrbanV and build on the foundation they’ve laid to build a robust AAM network—starting in São Paulo and expanding to Rio de Janeiro and beyond.”
