Integrating AAM into airport ecosystems
TPA has been a leader in Florida and the US on AAM integration. The presentation will focus on our internal committee used to learn more about AAM and how it will impact our community directly, then inform our masterplanning process. In addition, we hosted the first test flight at a major airport in the US and have hosted Florida's first tabletop exercise for AAM. We have also been focused on being a part of the regulatory conversation at the local, state and federal levels.
The audience will learn:
- How to integrate vertiports into the masterplanning process
- Cross-organizational communication and coordination
- Understanding how AAM will impact your community
- Growing community acceptance for AAM
- Leading the regulatory conversations for AAM
