Volatus Infrastructure Announces Software Partnership

Volatus Infrastructure is engaging with Altaport to push forward their vision of accessible air mobility. Altaport provides software technology that Volatus will use to power their infrastructure experience for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles allowing vehicle operators to schedule landings, maintenance, charging and storage at Volatus facilities. Altaport’s technology platform is designed to be vehicle agnostic, allowing users to facilitate ground operations for various aircraft manufacturers at any Volatus location.

“Our choice of software company needed to have the same philosophy as Volatus so that we can ensure accessibility,” said Volatus Infrastructure Co-Founder, Grant Fisk. “We achieved that by partnering with Altaport.” Fisk went on to say, “It’s all about having the correct people around the table to be successful.”

Altaport is activating and automating the world’s landing infrastructure with a vertiport operating system and a global marketplace for landing reservations. Leveraging Brazil’s current helicopter market as an analog for future high-volume Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) traffic, Altaport has started to deploy its technology to major heliports and air taxi operators throughout Brazil. By the end of 2022, Altaport will be active in Latin America and North America, with an eye toward Europe, the Middle East and Africa and Asia-Pacific operations in 2023. Altaport plans to support the first AAM flights in 2024.

Founded in 2021, Volatus Infrastructure, LLC is connecting communities to the future with bestin-class eVTOL infrastructure technology to ensure society is ready for the future. Volatus offers three main vertiport designs, a vehicle agnostic charging station, plus an app and maintenance programs. By tailoring to specific needs while incorporating the latest technologies their work positively impacts clients and the communities they serve. Join the future with Volatus Infrastructure.
