Session Description

There’s no doubt that China’s mid-low altitude economy, which encompasses a wide range of commercial activities carried out within the airspace below 1,000 metres, is booming. With regulators and government policy backing in place, the sector is expected to expand to more than 140 million by 2026, according to a report by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) affiliated research institute. In Asia, Japan has committed to launching eVtol commercial flights for the 2025 World Expo in Osaka. South Korea also plans to introduce commercial air taxi services in 2025. Companies throughout the world are optimistic about this thriving market potential.

 

Drone delivery of parcels and flying taxis for everyday commutes are just a few examples of the many possibilities that are expected to benefit greatly from this strong demand. Many believe that the mid-low altitude economy will transform transportation, logistics, manufacturing, and aviation operations. The continuous improvement of support services for mid-low altitude flights, such as more automated permission processes and air traffic management, as well as initiatives to improve the uncrewed aircraft certification system, are key drivers of the growth.

 

In this session, we will explore the mid-low altitude economy’s potential and how mobile operators may help boost this growing business. Experts in the area will lead lively conversations, discussing practical case studies, potential business models and sharing firsthand expertise with the audience.
