Vertiports developer Skyportz is currently raising funds to continue its preparatory works in Australia through the Birchal platform and reached its minimum raise last week in 29 minutes after opening.
Maz Group has experience in airport terminal construction, hangars and general aviation with projects including Melbourne Airport and Launceston Airport and will collaborate with Skyportz in vertiport design and construction.
“Maz Group has extensive experience in all aspects of airport building – from hangars to terminals to baggage handling, this is our area of expertise”, said managing director Marty Craggill. “We are looking forward to working with Skyportz to develop an entirely new class of building – the vertiport terminal for the emerging electric air taxi industry.”
Skyportz CEO Clem Newton-Brown welcomed the collaboration with Maz Group. He said: “We greatly value investors who can not only provide funds, but also their expertise and experience to help us shape the next stage of our growth.
“At Skyportz we are developing concepts and designs for something that does not yet exist – the electric air taxi vertiport. The input of Maz Group as a significant shareholder will greatly enhance our ability to actually build our vertiport network when the time is right”.
Skyportz is in discussions with launch markets outside of Australia to licence its brand and systems.
