Advanced Air Mobility
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) represents a transformative opportunity for airports to expand services, attract investment, and participate in the next generation of aviation. Electric aircraft, site planning, and sustainable infrastructure are reshaping how we think about air transportation.
Advanced Air Mobility isn’t just the future. AAM is happening now. Electric aircraft and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technology are revolutionizing how people and goods move. Airports that prepare today will capture federal funding, attract high-value operators, and position themselves as regional innovation hubs in a market ready to meet the demand.
Start the conversation.
NATA has developed a comprehensive communication resource and informative letter designed to help aviation leaders start productive conversations with airport leadership about preparing for Advanced Air Mobility. This resource provides airports with industry background, recent federal policy updates, and actionable steps for AAM integration planning—including guidance on electrical capabilities, site planning, and updates to airport layout and master plans.

Position your airport to lead in the next era of aviation.
Investing in Advanced Air Mobility puts you at the forefront of aviation innovation, empowering you to:
- Expand Airport Capabilities
- Integrate AAM operations including electric aircraft, eVTOL, and sustainable aviation technologies into your existing infrastructure to boost airport utilization and unburden transitional processes.
- Unlock Federal Funding
- Opens up FAA funding opportunities under the Reauthorization Act of 2024 and related grant programs for AAM infrastructure.
- Boost Economic Growth
- AAM integration drives job creation, attracts business investment in sustainable technologies, and generates long-term community value.
- Plan Ahead
- Updating your Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan to incorporate AAM infrastructure will help you prepare for future operations.
- Enhance Sustainability Leadership
- AAM helps demonstrate your commitment to environmental stewardship through adoption of electric and sustainable aviation technologies.
Leading the charge toward a connected, sustainable air mobility future—NATA's AAM Committee
The National Air Transportation Association’s Advanced Air Mobility Committee was formed to provide guidance and foster collaboration between operators, OEMs, airports, and aviation business community stakeholders. Our committee brings together industry leaders to help airports navigate the rapidly evolving AAM landscape.
