“The Brisbane/Gold Coast/Sunshine Coast corridor is a perfect geographic area to create a world leading ecosystem for clean, green electric air taxis.” ”We’re seeing this as a base but what we’re wanting to do if we get the support of the Queensland government, is we are interested in establishing Skyportz in other locations from the Sunshine Coast down to the Gold Coast to create the world’s first electric air taxi ecosystem.” “We have not announced any further sites yet as we are going to use this first test site to assess the level of community and political support for a broader network.” Innovation & Technology Precinct – PetrieĬlem Newton-Brown states that Skyportz will build the Australian Advanced Manufacturing Centre of Excellence at Petrie in Moreton Bay in the next few years, as it was was deemed perfect because it was suitable for helicopter activity and the technology to support the new type of aircraft would not be available yet. A new technology, education and innovation priority development area in Petrie will be able to accommodate the new hub and align with the intent of the 460 ha site, that includes The Mill and former Paper Mill. Skyportz announced a transport hub north of Brisbane at the Air Taxi World Congress in London. The ambition plan seeks to have air taxis in the sky over South East Queensland in the next 5 – 10 years and set the stand for the next century of personal travel. Skyportz carried out an investor fundraiser in 2021, with approximately 456 individuals and groups signing up to raised over $620,000, Clem Newton-Brown, chief executive of Skyportz informed the The Courier-Mail. In an Australian first, a new state of the art centre will be the base of a fleet of sky taxi’s that is understood to come online before the 2032 Olympic Games and base designed to reduce personal commuting times across South East Queensland. Skyportz has promoted that it will construct its Australian Advanced Manufacturing Centre of Excellence in Petrie, just outside of Brisbane.
