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 />
