New classes of manned and unmanned air vehicles will come into commercial service over the next few years, representing the future flight sector.
These emerging technologies and advanced air mobility (AAM) business models will transform how the aviation industry connects people, transports goods, and delivers services. The novel technologies that are expected to be deployed such as electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL), hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and electric powered aircraft will aim to support the industry's sustainability, efficiency and connectivity goals.
Airports as we know them today will transform too in order to accommodate those new air users, and some are being designed and purposely built around the world, as new vertiports models.
At the heart of aviation
WTW is committed to advising industry stakeholders in the future flight sector, whilst contributing to research to support the industry as it strives to understand, explain, and develop the path to operation. Our focus is both on emerging risks and informing decisions on how to best maximise the opportunities to build resilience and preparedness for future flight’s safe integration and interoperability.
Three elements help to shape our perspectives:
We deliver a smarter way to risk
These three elements in addition to our data driven, insight led solutions in the areas of people, risk and capital and our in-house technical aviation expertise put us in a strong position to support future flight operators and novel air technology industry stakeholders as they make the journey from use case, to certification and through to compliance. We look forward to supporting them each step of the way and celebrating their commercial, viable entry into the market.
