Farnborough International is launching a major new event dedicated to the future of urban air mobility and the new ways in which the world will travel.

Taking place on September 3 and 4, 2019, the Global Urban Air Summit is the first time international representatives from across the sector – passenger, military, cargo and medical – will meet investors and regulators to determine how this monumental transport shift is to take place.

Representatives from regulatory bodies and NATS will join speakers and exhibitors that are leading in this field to explore the opportunities and challenges facing this fast-growing industry.

“Pivotal”

Gareth Rogers, CEO of Farnborough International, said: “This pre-eminent Summit is pivotal for the future of air travel and we look forward to becoming a bookmark in the industry’s calendar. It is the first time global industry and regulators will meet on such a major scale and there can be no more appropriate a location to determine this future than Farnborough – the home of powered flight.”

He added: “The extent to which this modal shift will change everyday life cannot be underestimated. We are delighted to bring our experience in delivering global events to attract the world’s leading innovators to Farnborough and look forward to.”
