“Civil Aviation” issues the first organizational regulations for hybrid operations to take off and land for flying taxi and traditional helicopters

In a move confirming the leadership of the UAE global in the field of innovation in aviation, the General Civil Aviation Authority issued the first organizational regulation in the world for hybrid operations, which enable electrical planes with takeoff and vertical landing (EVTOLS) and traditional helicopters of reciprocal operation on the same infrastructure.

This innovative organizational framework represents a qualitative shift in integrating advanced air mobility solutions (AAM) within the existing air systems, as it provides an effective model for the development of infrastructure, and accelerates the readiness of operation, and is in line with the directives of the UAE government to apply highly efficient and non -bureaucratic solutions across various sectors.

Saif Muhammad Al -Suwaidi, Director General of the General Authority of Civil Aviation, said: “The UAE has always been at the forefront of excellence in the aviation sector. This leading regulatory regulation is not limited to its role to empower new technology, but also redefine how to develop aviation, and translates our commitment to innovation in developing a system supportive of the growth of this vital sector and a future in which the advanced air mobility is integrated smoothly with our national infrastructure.”

The organization of hybrid operations comes as a result of close cooperation with international partners in the advanced air mobility sector, and it is fully compatible with the UAE National Sustainability and Smart Transportation Vision and improving the exploitation of infrastructure. By enabling the dual use between traditional helicopters and vertical electrical aircraft arrotes, this procedure contributes to accelerating the implementation schedule, and achieves optimal employment of the sector’s infrastructure, and ensures the consolidation of the UAE’s position as a pioneer in embracing an integrated system that supports the future of aviation.

“We are proud to develop a regulatory regulation that combines innovation and effective control of safety. This framework represents a strategic empowerment factor, not only for new transportation patterns, but also for a more intelligent and flexible organizational environment that keeps pace with the arriving technologies without giving up safety standards.”

As the global aviation community is ready for the next air mobility, the UAE continues to set the leading standards, stressing that having an ambitious, long -term vision, advanced industrial capabilities, and advanced infrastructure that constitutes the basic pillars of the success of merging advanced air mobility.
