So which countries are currently leading the field in developing the <strong>UAM</strong> - Urban Air Mobility sector in Asia? One of the points of reference to<br />

answer this question was the KPMG index study of Air Taxi readiness, published in October 2021. From the below table, we can deduce several<br />

Asia-Pacific countries are highly ranked in the race to accommodate <strong>UAM</strong> commercial operations in the region.<br />

We reviewed the latest manufacturer activities<br />

in the region and public announcements, cited<br />

industry experts and government reports,<br />

and evaluated current governmental policy<br />

support and investor sentiment. In doing<br />

so, we were able to determine which are<br />

the current leading Asia-Pacific nations at<br />

the forefront of developing their own <strong>UAM</strong><br />

related operational environments. Going<br />

in alphabetical order rather than perceived<br />

ranking, we start with Australia.<br />
