Abstract

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is emerging as a competitive option for urban and regional travel. We propose a multi-period AAM service design model that jointly optimises vertiport location, capacity, frequency, and pricing while capturing passenger choice. To solve the resulting choice-driven problem, we develop an exact method that transforms the MINLP into an ILP. Experiments on a 30-city UK network show strong interdependence between infrastructure and fleet investment, with the greater AAM benefits on city pairs with long ground travel times.
