UrbanV and Pax Aeroportos to Develop Vertiport Networks in Brazil
Partnership to Advance Urban Air Mobility
Italian vertiport provider UrbanV and Brazilian airport operator Pax Aeroportos have entered into a strategic partnership to develop vertiport infrastructure at two pivotal urban airports in Brazil: Campo de Marte in São Paulo and Jacarepaguá in Rio de Janeiro. This collaboration aims to integrate dedicated facilities for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft within existing airport estates, positioning these sites as key gateways for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in the country.
The partnership combines UrbanV’s international expertise in vertiport network design and operations with Pax Aeroportos’ established presence and long-term vision for urban aviation in Brazil. Ivan Bassate, Chairman of UrbanV, emphasized the significance of the initiative, stating, “Together with Pax Aeroportos, we are building the foundations for future air mobility networks in Brazil, starting from airports that already play a central role in urban aviation.”
Development Plans and Strategic Importance
Development work has already commenced at Campo de Marte, where a regulatory sandbox has been established in collaboration with Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). This initiative is described by both companies as a foundational step toward creating scalable and integrated AAM networks across Brazil.
Campo de Marte, situated near São Paulo’s city center, is envisioned as a central hub for metropolitan air mobility. The facility will offer hangar capacity and connections to high-demand destinations including São Paulo’s main international airports, the Faria Lima business district, Alphaville, Campinas, and the port city of Santos. Meanwhile, Jacarepaguá is poised to become a critical access point for western Rio de Janeiro, with potential links to Copacabana, Niterói, and Rio’s principal airports. This development builds upon Jacarepaguá’s established role in executive and helicopter aviation.
Rogerio Augusto Prado, CEO of Pax Aeroportos, described Advanced Air Mobility as a natural progression of urban aviation. He highlighted the opportunity to integrate “next-generation air mobility solutions into our airports and the cities they serve,” reflecting the company’s commitment to evolving urban transport infrastructure.
Challenges and Market Context
Despite the promising outlook, the initiative faces significant challenges. Regulatory complexities, the need for substantial infrastructure investment, and competition from established players such as Joby Aviation and Skyports present potential obstacles. Market analysts have expressed skepticism about the feasibility and profitability of urban air mobility, particularly as global competitors accelerate their vertiport development efforts. For instance, Joby Aviation’s recent partnership with Metropolis Technologies in the United States underscores the intensifying global race to secure strategic vertiport locations.
The broader global trend toward integrating electric air taxis into urban transportation systems is influencing both market dynamics and regulatory frameworks in Brazil. As the AAM ecosystem continues to mature, the collaboration between UrbanV and Pax Aeroportos reflects a shared ambition to leverage existing airport infrastructure while maintaining flexibility for future expansion and adaptation to evolving industry standards.
Both companies assert that their partnership represents a significant step toward establishing Brazil as a leader in urban air mobility, with the capacity to accommodate additional projects as the sector develops.
