Asia-Pacific Emerges as Key Market for eVTOL Developments Amid Shifting Focus from Singapore
ADVANCED AIR MOBILITY (AAM) / NEXT-GEN AVIATION
Asia-Pacific is emerging as a key market for eVTOL developments as Singapore shifts away from advanced air mobility initiatives, leading to Volocopter's cancellation of its plans in the city-state. Countries like Japan and South Korea are attracting Western developers such as Archer and Joby, who are forming partnerships to launch eVTOL services, while EHang remains the only certified operator in China. Despite Singapore's hesitance, regulatory frameworks are being facilitated by CAAS to support future AAM operations in the region.
