Step into the Future of Air Mobility

Get ready for an Asia-focused world event at the Advanced Air Mobility Asia Symposium (AAM Asia), coming 16-18 September 2025 to Aichi Sky Expo in Aichi Prefecture, Japan!

 

The event will address the evolving landscape of Advanced Air Mobility in Asia, including key public demonstrations in Korea and Japan. We will delve into the entire AAM ecosystem across use cases, infrastructure, ATM/UTM, MRO, regulators and more. AAM Asia will gather global stakeholders to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities across Asia’s rapidly growing aerospace market.

 

Join us in shaping the future of the world’s largest aerospace market.

Goals and Objectives

Through programming and Exhibits, AAM Asia will focus on finding solutions that:
  • Maximize safety, as we transition and integrate
  • Support all airspace users having equitable and productive access to, and support within the airspace
  • Detail the tools, technologies, human capital, and regulatory needs to transition and advance
  • Support understanding and collaboration between traditional aviation industry/regulators, military, and new entrants/non-industry sectors
  • Promote societal benefits, acceptance, and adoption of new services and systems
As we find solutions and solve problems, AAM Asia will highlight:
  • Successes and advancements being made
  • Best practices
  • Listing of priority issues needing to be addressed for future focus
  • Showcase of products and services supporting airspace integration
  • Leaders and Influencers in the integration process
  • Exchange of knowledge and connections
