–Infrastructure providers deliver the physical and digital backbone (e.g. vertiports, energy supply, connectivity) required for safe and efficient operations. Their priorities include creating modular infrastructure, elevating existing facilities, establishing standards and architectural interoperability and introducing public–private concessions for AAM operations. –Suppliers develop critical systems such as propulsion, batteries, sensors and avionics, enabling both safety and efficiency. Their priorities involve designing adaptable vehicle components, developing the right-sized production capacity, building a technologically competent workforce, creating component standards and ensuring secure, strategic sourcing. –OEMs develop certified AAM vehicles, often coordinating closely with both regulators and suppliers. Their priorities are focused on guaranteeing onboard and ground safety, establishing universally applicable vehicle designs, getting certified vehicles and reaching product-market fit. –Operators bring AAM services to life by designing, launching and scaling real-world use cases – connecting technology with users and integrating AAM into mobility networks. Their priorities include designating air corridors, developing robust security and safety controls, enabling digital operations, ensuring integration with other modes of transport and achieving circular economy outcomes. These key priorities are not exclusive to any one stakeholder group but are deeply interconnected across the whole value chain. Figure 3 highlights the main interconnections of these priorities with other stakeholders. Indeed, while each stakeholder group brings distinct priorities and responsibilities, only through joint enabling actions can the industry address the priorities that will shape AAM’s future. These enabling actions are the glue that aligns efforts, reduces friction and accelerates outcomes. Advanced Air Mobility: Paving the Way to Responsible Implementation 11
