We signed a MOU at the recent Zhuhai AERO Asia Show in Nov, to mark this important milestone with AERO Asia and Messe Frankfurt GmbH (HK).
This MOU is a strong signal of where Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and the Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) are headed in Asia-Pacific: cross-border, collaborative, and deployment-focused.
At NexAvian, we believe the next phase of AAM growth will be driven by:
1. Regional collaboration over isolated pilots
2. Alignment between regulators, industry, and capital
3. Platforms that connect Asia with global ecosystems
AERO Asia plays a critical role as a bridge—linking OEMs, operators, regulators, investors, and innovators across APAC and beyond.
We look forward to deepening this partnership as we build momentum toward AERO events globally and accelerate real-world AAM outcomes across communities.
While in Zhuhai, Co-Founder & CEO Emerson Xu, also moderated “The Future of Advanced Air Mobility across Asia–Pacific” at AERO Asia 2025 — a forum where global leaders gathered to shape the next chapter of AAM.
The panel highlighted several important signals for our region:
🔹 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚’𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 — from China’s nationwide LAE pilots, to Japan’s Expo 2025 certification pathways, to Singapore’s ecosystem leadership, and Southeast Asia’s readiness for cross-border operations.
🔹 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 — moving rapidly from prototypes to manufacturing footprints, with companies like Eve Air Mobility / Embraer building global MRO, distribution and fleet-support networks.
🔹𝐀𝐀𝐌 𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐬 — linking the GBA, Thailand, Japan, Singapore and ASEAN as a network of testbeds, rather than single-city deployments.
🔹 𝐂𝐨-𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚 — whether through European–Asian OEM partnerships, integrated seaplane-eVTOL models, or harmonisation efforts around Federal Aviation Administration–EASA – European Union Aviation Safety Agency–CAAC – Civil Aviation Administration of China standards.
We thank the panelists — Arnaud Coville (SkyDrive), David Alexander Bausek (Volocopter / Diamond Aircraft), Dennis Keller (Seaplane Asia), and Joel Goh (Eve Air Mobility) — for the expertise, depth, candour and ambition shared on stage. Inspiring us to envision in our generation, a vertically integrated mobility network.
At NexAvian, we are honoured to help curate and convene these conversations. 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚–𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐀𝐌 — 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲, 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
