Germany’s Volocopter plans to construct a landing centre for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft in Singapore. Working in collaboration with UK-based drone infrastructure developer Skyports, the aircraft manufacturer will complete Singapore's first Volo-Port in next month. Designed by Brandlab, the centre will feature landing pads for electric VTOL aircraft, to enable real-world testing of the emissions-free, inner-city air taxis. The project will allow Volocopter to hone its customer services, like boarding procedures, pre-flight checks and passenger lounges, as well as offering authorities and regulators the chance to provide feedback.
