In preparationfor commercial air taxis and complex drone operations, Asia-Pacific aviation regulators have identified eight priority areas in drawing up guidelines that will be ready by 2025.
This was at the inaugural meeting of Asia-Pacific regulators on advanced aircraft mobility (AAM) and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), initiated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and convened in Singapore. AAM refers to a new form of aviation with smaller craft that cover shorter distances, such as “air taxis”. The most common type of AAM is electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, with many now being developed by startups.
