As a region, Houston embraces the rapidly evolving Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) sector, recognizing its transformative potential. AAM is crucial for improving connectivity, reducing congestion, and enhancing safety. By integrating innovative solutions such as air taxis and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, Houston is paving the way for more efficient transportation options. This growing ecosystem includes not just commercial travel but also cargo delivery and public services, positioning Houston as a key player in this emerging technology.
"Houston is at the forefront of aviation and aerospace innovation, so it’s only fitting that Houston Airports take the first steps to explore the next generation of air transportation,” said Jim Szczesniak, Director of Aviation for Houston Airport System.
