Supernal LLC, Hyundai Motor Group’s (HMG) Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) company, and Sigma Air Mobility, a Luxaviation Group company, have announced a joint initiative to identify and develop key markets for future AAM infrastructure and investments. This collaboration will focus on South and Southeast Asia, with potential opportunities in Southern Europe. By leveraging their combined expertise, the companies aim to lead in the visioning, launch, and scale-up of decarbonized and accessible air mobility networks in these regions. Sigma will operate Supernal’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and handle vertiport development, operations, and related services.

“The need for more sustainable aviation solutions is global, while specific transportation needs are local,” said Christophe Lapierre, CEO, Sigma Air Mobility. “Together, Sigma Air Mobility and Supernal can expand access to Advanced Air Mobility by matching our solutions with the markets where they will be best suited.”

“Supernal is building relationships with local government leaders ready to embrace innovative solutions to decarbonize transportation,” said Jaiwon Shin, president of Hyundai Motor Group and CEO of Supernal. “Supernal and Sigma Air Mobility share not only a vision for Advanced Air Mobility, but also complementary business goals to advance the industry.”

Under the multi-year memorandum of understanding, Supernal and Sigma will identify target markets for collaborative projects, align with local transportation needs, and collaborate with public and private partners and investors to establish the infrastructure necessary for developing local AAM ecosystems.
