UK-based Skyports has raised GBP 5.35 million in Series A funding round led by Deutsche Bahn Digital Ventures (DBDV) and Groupe ADP, the company said.
The round also includes new investment from Levitate Capital following its seed investment in the company in January 2018.
This capital allows Skyports to continue its programme of acquiring sites for passenger and cargo vertiports in cities around the world, including Singapore and Los Angeles. Following the Singapore showcase of the world´s first passenger vertiport in October — the VoloPort — in partnership with air taxi manufacturer Volocopter, Skyports has received substantial interest from landlords in the city state and other cities around the world.
Skyports also plans to further develop its drone delivery business. Building on its acquisition of multiple drone platforms to suit operations in urban and rural environments, Skyports will expand the team for full commercialisation of its delivery services.
Skyports is an urban air mobility infrastructure provider and drone delivery operator.
