1. Study scope
The collaboration will assess a Kansai air-transport network concept, including route planning, vertiport development, operations frameworks and demand creation. Partners will also examine commercial viability, business models and regulatory coordination with government agencies, local municipalities and regional communities.

The work follows SkyDrive’s SD-05 demonstration flights at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, and shifts focus toward commercial integration.
