Shanghai to hold air mobility industry expo

By Wang Xin in Shanghai | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2024-08-21 14:20 The first Advanced Air Mobility Expo is set to take place in July next year in Shanghai, aiming to build a platform for industrial communication and boost the nation's development in the low-altitude economy, said the expo's organizers at a news conference in Shanghai on Tuesday. The expo will create a display and communication platform for the advanced air mobility industry, consisting of six sections, namely infrastructure, manufacturing and supportive facilities, electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and transportation, administration and solution services, commercial application and integration, as well as entertainment and consumption products. On Sunday, an interprovincial low-altitude passenger transport route connecting Shanghai Pudong International Airport with the Kunshan City Terminal in neighboring Jiangsu province commenced commercial operations, greatly reducing the transportation time between the two cities. "The expo will mainly focus on the typical applications of the advanced air mobility, including transportation, emergency response, cultural tourism, city management and entertainment, which are expected to speed up the landing of the low-altitude economy in diverse fields."
