On 26.1.2023, U-space is supposed to be implemented in the EU. However, many Member States will need more time to do so. This panel will discuss the state of implementation and the potential from U-space. It will also discuss what is still needed for U-space and the role of initiatives such as AMI.
In this panel, Stéphane Vaubourg (Drones Project Manager, EASA), Dr. Markus May (Managing Director Airbus Urban Mobility) and Jan-Eric Putze (CEO Droniq) would like to take stake of the implementation in Germany and other Member States and discuss the potential stemming from U-space for drone services, the introduction of vertiports and other city-related services. More importantly, they will also discuss what needs to happen so that U-spaces can be opened and drone services can reliably be introduced. Also, this year’s Air Mobility Initiative (AMI) may be a way to speed up the necessary processes to introduce U-spaces.
The Panel is moderated by Christoph Raab, Secretary General of the Alliance for New Mobility Europe.
