Global markets
Where the infrastructure bottleneck gets solved first
Aeroberm prioritises the cities where rooftop inventory, regulatory readiness, operator demand, and investment pressure converge first.
First mover thesis
The cities that move first capture the operator commitments, route licences, destination rents, and supporting ecosystem investment that follow verified landing infrastructure.

Launch regions
Six launch regions, one global vertipad standard
Each market is scored by the conditions that determine who can deploy first, monetise rooftops fastest, and compound operator demand into network value.
AU
Australia
Melbourne / Sydney / Brisbane / Perth
Australia is Aeroberm's founding market and regulatory base. We are embedded in CASA's Advanced Air Mobility development programme and active on national and international AAM committees. The 2032 Brisbane Olympics is the most time-sensitive vertipad infrastructure trigger in the southern hemisphere, and the window to have certified pads in place is closing. Institutional partners and property owners who move now will capture the destination rents that follow the first operational network.
US
United States
New York / Los Angeles / San Francisco / Miami
The Trump administration has made Advanced Air Mobility a national priority. The eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP), established under President Trump's Unleashing Drone Dominance Executive Order, is creating public-private partnerships across US cities to fast-track real-world eVTOL operations. The regulatory and political tailwinds are aligned in a way the industry has never seen before. The cities selected for eIPP programmes will need certified vertipad infrastructure before aircraft arrive. New York is forecast to become the world's largest urban AAM market by 2045. Institutional capital is already moving.
IN
India
Delhi / Mumbai / Bangalore
Delhi sits at the intersection of the world's worst urban congestion, rapidly expanding vertical real estate, and a government that has identified AAM as a national strategic priority. India's capital markets, not just infrastructure budgets, are pricing electric aviation as inevitable. Property owners and developers who establish vertipad-ready rooftops now will be first in line when aircraft certification unlocks the passenger market. Among the top global vertipad opportunities in our market analysis.
ME
Middle East
Dubai / Riyadh / Doha / Abu Dhabi
The Gulf is the world's most accelerated test case for Advanced Air Mobility. Greenfield mega-projects are embedding vertipad infrastructure into masterplans from day one, and the GCAA is actively developing regulatory frameworks to match Dubai's public commitment to autonomous air taxis. The economics of prestige mobility and rooftop asset monetisation are already understood here, the question is which surface standard gets specified first.
AS
Asia
Shenzhen / Singapore / Tokyo / Seoul / Hong Kong
Shenzhen leads the world in early eVTOL deployment, with government commitments to hundreds of passenger vertipads and over a thousand landing sites across the city. Singapore, Tokyo, and Seoul combine mature regulatory environments with extreme population density and acute surface congestion. Asia is where the market proves itself at scale first, and where the vertipad surface standard that gets adopted earliest will define the infrastructure playbook for a generation.
EU
Europe
London / Paris / Frankfurt / Amsterdam
EASA has published the world's first prototype vertiport design specifications and is building a full regulatory framework for eVTOL operations across member states. Urban noise politics in European cities mean that demonstrable community impact reduction is increasingly a planning prerequisite. Aeroberm's noise suppression credentials are not a differentiator here, they could be a condition of entry. Early engagement with planning authorities and property owners is already underway.
Commercial traction
Partnership agreements are now in place across five countries.
Active relationships connect Aeroberm to priority launch regions where operators, developers, and regulators are preparing for vertipad infrastructure at commercial scale.

The numbers behind the opportunity
The most comprehensive vertipad market analysis ever undertaken
Our market prioritisation draws on the same datasets used by McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte, and Roland Berger in their AAM assessments, calibrated against city-level real estate, transport, and aviation data. We weight five signals to identify where vertipad infrastructure generates the fastest return and captures the greatest share of the ecosystem investment that follows.
The global modular vertipad market is forecast to reach $200M in annual sales across just five frontier cities by 2045, with approximately 6,700 pads installed across those cities alone, 80% of them serving dense urban networks. A further 600 new pads will be required every year just to keep pace with passenger demand growth. The global opportunity is estimated at 10 to 20 times these figures.
- 01
Population density
High-density urban centres where surface congestion creates the strongest passenger willingness to pay and the greatest time-cost penalty for ground transport.
- 02
Commute penalty
The measurable gap between average surface transport time and what an eVTOL corridor delivers. New York, Delhi, and Dubai score highest, in New York alone, eVTOL already delivers a net financial benefit to ride-share commuters at current pricing.
- 03
Rooftop inventory
The volume of commercially viable structures with the structural capacity and airspace clearance to host a modular vertipad. Markets with high commercial real estate density compress deployment costs and accelerate network build-out.
- 04
Regulatory readiness
Government appetite for AAM pilots, active engagement with ICAO, CASA, FAA, EASA, DGCA, and GCAA frameworks, and the presence of clear certification pathways for both aircraft and infrastructure.
- 05
Ecosystem investment signal
The degree to which capital markets, not just infrastructure budgets, are already pricing electric aviation as inevitable in a given city. This is the leading indicator that separates markets where early deployment captures outsized returns from those where it merely recovers costs.
