Signed during DRIFTx 2025, the partnership sets a framework for cooperation to support the safe, efficient, and innovative integration of next-generation airspace users, including drones and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs). The initiative aligns with Abu Dhabi's vision for a future-ready, smart, and sustainable aviation ecosystem and reinforces the Emirate's commitment to enabling emerging technologies and new mobility models.
Under the MoU, GANS and ADIO will collaborate on key workstreams that include the future design and management of airspace, advancing capabilities for integrating new and emerging airspace users, and exploring mutually beneficial initiatives that support the evolution of Advanced Air Mobility within Abu Dhabi. The shared objective is to position the Emirate as a regional and global leader in next-generation air mobility and aviation technologies.
The partnership will also focus on bringing together public and private sector stakeholders to build an enabling environment that supports innovation, regulation, and safe deployment of autonomous and smart air mobility solutions.
