This reflects theimportance of national policies, national aviation authorities and air traffic management, as well as the potential for air mobility to go beyond intra-urban transport and be integrated airsideas a regional connection network for traditional domestic and international aviation.ReaderguideThe Air Taxi Readiness Index (ATRI), now in its fourth iteration, is a toolto help measure the level of preparedness for the upcoming generationof passenger- and cargo-carrying Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL)vehicles in 60 selected territories. It is a composite index that combinesnearly 50 individual, existing metrics from a range of sources into a singlescore. The metrics are arranged across five pillars: consumer acceptance;infrastructure; policy & legislation; technology & innovation; and businessopportunity. Each territory receives a score for each pillar, and these areaggregated into totals at the national level which we then convert torelative rankings among the 60 territories.Scores are based on normalized results from pre-existing KPMG and third-party secondary sources (end noted),with weighting applied to reflect metric relevance as a proxy.The index is to be used to form comparisons between countries’ preparedness levels for regional air mobilityadoption and to stimulate thought and debate. It is not meant to be exhaustive or definitive in terms ofpredicting air taxi or logistics adoption rates. Its intended audience is public and private bodies alike lookingto understand the benefits of early adoption of this technology, and the suitability of different territories forrelevant pilots and commercial investment. We use short / vertical take-off and landing (‘S/VTOL’) and ‘airtaxi’ interchangeably throughout, referring to vehicles capable of short-haul airspace passenger or cargotransportation, piloted or unpiloted.© 2024 KPMG, an Irish partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firmsaffiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.

This pivot isreflected in a number of recent developments in the UAE and Saudi Arabia:Joby Aviation announced that it is planning tostart commercial air taxi flights in Dubai by late2025.4Archer Aviation signed a framework agreementwith the Abu Dhabi Investment Office,involving in-country manufacturing and theconstruction of vertiports as well as substantialinvestments in its air taxi ser
