Saoud bin Saqr hosts Sky Ports delegation
His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, received a delegation from the British company "Skyports Infrastructure," specializing in the development and operation of advanced air mobility infrastructure, to discuss the latest updates on the future urban air mobility project in the emirate. The meeting reviewed the stages of collaboration since 2024, including the signing of the framework agreement and the project's progress toward implementation, with a focus on establishing the vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) facility on Marjan Island, which is expected to be ready by the third quarter of 2027. An integrated vision was also presented for the passenger experience and a development plan for a network of vertical air links to enhance both internal and external connectivity. The two sides signed a long-term agreement to transition the program from development to operations, aiming to launch commercial services in 2027. This is part of Ras Al Khaimah's efforts to support a sustainable and advanced transportation system in line with its developmental vision.
