Advanced air mobility (AAM) will reshape how passengers access airports and how regions coordinate airspace, electrification and multimodal connections. This session explores the operational and ecosystem shifts required to integrate vertiports and regional feeder operations into existing airport environments. MassAutonomy, working with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and aligned with initiatives such as Massport’s remote terminal pilot, will highlight how the Northeast is preparing for AAM within one of the nation’s most complex airspaces. Attendees will gain insight into airport electrification, funding pathways, OEM collaboration and the actions regions can take now to accelerate AAM readiness.

• How AAM changes airport access and regional mobility by enabling efficient feeder operations
• Key considerations for integrating AAM into dense, legacy airspace
• Practical insights from airport electrification efforts, including funding strategies and infrastructure partnerships
• How collaboration with OEMs shapes operational planning, corridor development and early AAM use cases
• Actionable steps airports and regions can take now: policy alignment, multimodal planning, airspace integration and electrification readiness
