London - 27.03.2025 – LYTE Aviation, a pioneering OEM manufacturer of the world’s first 40-seater hybrid hydrogen eVTOL, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with LYNEports and Bluenest by Globalvia to enhance vertiport infrastructure for advanced air mobility (AAM), especially in the Middle East. This collaboration builds on LYTE's successful receipt of 23 pre-orders worth €920 million for its innovative aircraft, poised to redefine air transport.

As the Middle East accelerates its vision for AAM, particularly in the UAE and Oman, LYTE is strategically aligning its efforts with Oman’s Vision 2040 and UAE’s initiatives to develop the region’s future in sustainable transport. LYTE's SkyBus, along with its cargo variant, the SkyTruck—capable of carrying 4.5 tons—are positioned to be game changers in the market, offering unprecedented efficiency in passenger and cargo transport.

“We are currently engaged in discussions with several governments around the globe and collaborating with esteemed manufacturing partners and investors.” said Freshta Farzam, CEO of LYTE Aviation. “The Middle East represents a significant opportunity for our SkyBus and SkyTruck, designed for regional ranges of up to 1000 km, facilitating interconnectivity for mass passenger transport and net-zero cargo solutions. Our aircraft's capability to operate from compact vertiports requiring only a 40m x 40m dimension, without the need for lengthy runways, enhances logistical flexibility and safety.” Furthermore, she adds “The UAE is advancing at a high speed with their plans for smart cities by using also 2-seater air taxis and we see this as a great opportunity for us to also add our larger 40-seater SkyBusses at the seat price of 39 US$ to the matrix. Same goes for Oman’s future vision 2040, our SkyTruck will enable net zero achievements in their logistics sector and allow their population to travel quicker and cheaper from point to point instead of 2h car journeys, to take our SkyBus and reach their destination within 30 min only. This is an absolute game changer for the hospitality and tourism industry, for government employees, for passenger mass transit in general and for cargo deliveries from door to door, like it has never been done before. And collaborating and being in full alignment with Bluenest by Globalvia and LYNEports, their vision, their expertise and their magnificent solutions, this partnership will allow us to accelerate the set up of our infrastructure in the most advanced, cost-effective and high quality ways, especially in countries that are ready to thrive and support the actual realization of AAM today.”

LYNEports, known for its Aerodrome Planning and Design Software, focuses on creating efficient air travel infrastructures, while Bluenest Vertiport, an innovation arm of Globalvia, aims to manage vertiports and advanced air mobility solutions, placing citizens at the center of their operations. Through this partnership, LYTE aims to support  infrastructure that not only supports the SkyBus and SkyTruck but also catalyzes the ecosystem for air logistics and automated services with UAS.

“LYTE Aviation’s ambitions align perfectly with our goal of designing and optimizing aerodromes that support emerging air mobility solutions. Our collaboration promises to create a sustainable infrastructure framework that will advance the region's transportation landscape. LYNEports supports this vision by delivering the regulatory, environmental, and spatial intelligence required to develop infrastructure capable of accommodating this sort of new class of high-capacity, hybrid-hydrogen 40 seater eVTOL. Our software includes pre-integrated workflows that allow planners and authorities to design aerodromes with dedicated hydrogen fuel cell infrastructure and clear zoning buffers. This is a great opportunity for us to join forces here and co-create advanced infrastructure with Bluenest by Globalvia and LYTE Aviation” – Rasha Alshami, CEO & Founder, LYNEports.

“At Bluenest by Globalvia, we are committed to revolutionizing the way communities interact with advanced air mobility. Partnering with LYTE allows us to leverage innovative technology, ensuring that vertiports are not just infrastructure, but key enablers of a comfortable and efficient transport system for all citizens and cargo.” – José Ignacio Rodriguez, Managing Director at Bluenest by Globalvia. ”Bluenest has designed over 30 types of vertiports, including large-scale vertiports for eVTOLs with sizes ranging from 12m to 30m, equipped with electrical recharging capabilities, including hydrogen fuel cells. Bluenest can effortlessly scale up our medium sized vertiports to accommodate larger eVTOLs designed for heavy cargo or passengers, by resizing the FATO, parking/recharge and terminal areas. This collaboration presents a significant opportunity with LYTE Aviation’s SkyBus and SkyTruck and lay the proper infrastructure for them in the future, starting with the Middle East“.

As LYTE Aviation, LYNEports, and Bluenest by Globalvia work together, they are committed to contributing to the sustainable development goals set forth by the Middle East, ensuring that every deployment of the SkyBus and SkyTruck is aligned with regional and global needs for green transportation solutions.
