UrbanV, a global leader in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) infrastructure, and Signature Aviation, the world’s largest network of private aviation terminals, have signed a joint venture agreement to fast-track vertiport development across the United States. Initial focus areas include Florida, New York, California and Texas.

The partnership combines Signature’s extensive aviation terminal network with UrbanV’s expertise in vertiport planning to establish a scalable AAM ecosystem in the U.S. and beyond.

Key objectives of the JV include:

• Economic viability and technical feasibility studies
  The venture will assess network planning, demand potential, operational integration and financial modelling to evaluate the feasibility of building and managing vertiport networks.
• Business development and ecosystem creation
  Signature Aviation will explore vertiport integration within its terminal network and lead regulatory discussions. The JV will also engage with potential sites and AAM operators, forming strategic partnerships to support AAM deployment.

“This joint venture agreement is a major step in the development of AAM infrastructure for the United States,” said Carlo Tursi, CEO at UrbanV. “We have the ambition to become a major global operator of vertiport networks and we will pioneer the establishment of some of the first AAM routes. By leveraging UrbanV’s expertise in vertiport development and Signature Aviation’s established network of private aviation terminals, we are laying the foundations for seamless, efficient, and sustainable short-distance aerial transport in the United States.”

“Our partnership with UrbanV elevates our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and most importantly, our guests,” added Tony Lefebvre, CEO at Signature Aviation. “As we bring together our expertise, resources, and strategy, we’re focused on driving the adoption of advanced air mobility, while also establishing the safe, seamless, and efficient infrastructure needed for the development of vertiports.”
