Skyway<\/a> and Moonware<\/a> have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate ground infrastructure readiness for advanced aerial mobility. Skyway offers air traffic navigation and vertiport airspace management services while Moonware offers automated aviation ground operations through its AI-powered software and autonomous ground vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moonware is a venture-backed startup developing automated\nsolutions for aviation ground operations. Through its integrated product suite,\nMoonware’s technology aims to provide Urban Air Mobility (UAM) service\nproviders with systems that efficiently manage airfield ground operations to\nsafely meet flight throughput requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This strategic partnership aims to digitally integrate\nground operations into UATM systems, enabling a streamlined airside workflow\nand extended navigation services from start to end. Skyway’s vertiport\ndevelopment department is expanding its operation offerings for nextgen\nfacilities. As such, partnering with Moonware will provide the most reliable\ninfrastructure for Urban Air Mobility as well as bring the next evolution in\nautomated traffic services to airline operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principal challenges involved with eVTOL ground\noperations are the intrinsic limitations of self-taxiing aircraft, due to\nbattery constraints and range requirements. As more vertiports are developed\nand brought onto the flight network, adopting standardized systems that can\nscale across a wide variety of operational requirements is needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HALO, Moonware’s Airside OS, is an app-based tool designed\nto coordinate and automate aviation ground services. With features such as\nautomated crew scheduling and dispatching, GSE asset allocation, and real-time\nairside visibility, Moonware’s tool will enable Skyway to digitally integrate\nground operations into its Vertiport Management System (VMS), allowing the UATM\noperation center to see critical information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This partnership enables ground operations to be\ndigitally integrated into UATM systems from the very start, agnostic of the\ntype of airfield, and equips operators with a tool that will streamline their\nairside workflow,” says Javier Vidal, Moonware CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moonware and Skyway will also establish requirements to\ndeploy ATLAS, Moonware’s autonomous and electric pushback vehicle, to taxi\neVTOLs in vertiports operating in Skyway’s network. ATLAS is currently under\ndevelopment at Moonware and will enable quick and safe aircraft transfers\nbetween parking stands and FATOs. The partnership with Skyway will seek to\nprovide aircraft manufacturers with an extended range through engine-off\ntaxiing operations, reducing energy consumption and vertiport noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Effective ground operations are critical to\nestablishing long-term revenue growth for vertiport stakeholders, including\nairline operators. Vertiport uptime and organization of assets via Moonware’s\ntechnologies will increase Skyway’s facility operation offerings value\nproposition,” says Clifford Cruz, Skyway CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collaboration marks a significant step toward the\nfuture of advanced aerial mobility. By partnering with Moonware, Skyway’s\nnavigation services will extend through the entire charter experience with safe\nand reliable services from beginning to end. Together, Moonware and Skyway will\ntackle the challenges of the industry and pave the way for a seamless passenger\nexperience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
