Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is set to become one of the most significant developments in the aerospace industry in 2026. This emerging field includes electric air taxis, vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (eVTOLs), and autonomous air systems that promise to transform urban transportation and logistics.
A Key Year for eVTOL Deployment
In 2026, several international companies are expected to begin pilot operations, while Mexican aerospace suppliers will increasingly join the value chain by producing lightweight structures, composite materials, high-density batteries, and specialized electronic systems.
Regulation and Certification on the Move
Mexico’s aviation authority will continue to develop guidelines for testing, certification, and safe operation of AAM aircraft. These efforts will align with international standards such as the FAA and EASA, opening doors for manufacturers and future operators.
Pilot Projects in Strategic Cities
Major cities in the country may evaluate dedicated air corridors for executive transport, medical response, and high-priority logistics. These early tests will mark the beginning of a new era in urban air mobility.
