Ras Al Khaimah to launch advanced air mobility network by Q3 2027

Ras Al Khaimah is set to launch an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) network by the third quarter of 2027, according to recent announcements. The Ras Al Khaimah Transport Authority (RAKTA) and Skyports Infrastructure have signed a definitive agreement to develop and operate a four-vertiport network across the emirate. The first phase of the project will focus on two major tourism destinations - Al Marjan Island and Jebel Jais, with two additional vertiports planned for later phases.

The system aims to provide fast, point-to-point connections within Ras Al Khaimah and potentially with other parts of the UAE, with Dubai slated as the first inter-emirate connection. The agreement comes as Ras Al Khaimah invests in various sectors, including tourism, real estate, and infrastructure, and as part of the emirate's Comprehensive Mobility Plan 2030.
