Championing the establishment of a comprehensive network of Vertiports throughout Japan and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, we are strategically positioning for the imminent era of electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) cargo and passenger transportation.

This visionary endeavor involves orchestrating the development of Vertiports, strategically located to optimize the efficiency and accessibility of eVTOL operations. My role encompasses not only the conceptualization and planning of these pivotal hubs but also involves liaising with stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and technology partners to ensure seamless integration and compliance within the evolving aviation landscape. In essence, this initiative represents a bold step towards shaping the future of transportation in the region, positioning our organization as a trailblazer in the dynamic and transformative field of eVTOL aviation.
