Explore the Cutting-edge Technologies Transforming Urban Air Transportation
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) represents a revolutionary approach to moving people and goods, utilising innovative electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and autonomous systems to transform urban and regional transportation networks. The sector is a multi-billion-dollar market reshaping urban logistics, emergency response, surveillance, and passenger transport worldwide.
At Super Terminal Expo 2025, our dedicated AAM Pavilion brings together industry pioneers like Autoflight, Aerofugia, VariFlight, and more exhibitors, alongside the thought-provoking Low Altitude Economy Forum and the prestigious Aviation Week Network AAM Awards 2025. Whether you're an industry professional, investor, policymaker, or technology enthusiast, we provide unparalleled opportunities to witness innovative technologies, forge valuable connections, and participate in shaping the next generation of transportation infrastructure.
Hong Kong’s Strategic Advantage: The AAM Regulatory Sandbox
Leading Asia’s Low-Altitude Economy Revolution
Hong Kong has positioned itself at the forefront of the global Advanced Air Mobility revolution through its groundbreaking Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) Regulatory Sandbox, launched in March 2025. This innovative programme has already approved 38 projects from 72 applications, covering critical sectors including emergency rescue, logistics delivery, infrastructure inspection, and surveillance applications.
The sandbox has attracted participation from major industry players including Meituan, PCCW, the University of Hong Kong, and the Hospital Authority, demonstrating the city’s commitment to fostering real-world testing and implementation of advanced aerial technologies.
