One of the most exciting industry developments in the past few years has been the emergence of urban air mobility (UAM), which aims to redefine how people and cargo are transported. NBAA recently partnered with Michael Dyment at NEXA Advisors for a report looking at how UAM can create value for companies utilizing business aviation. For companies that need greater levels of mobility, there are gaps in what business aviation can do today, due primarily to the need for operating into and out of airports, said Dyment, “These new technologies and platforms enable somebody to walk into the parking lot of the corporate head office and get a flight to an airport or perhaps to another meeting location.”
In this episode of NBAA Flight Plan, host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
Michael Dyment, founder and managing partner, NEXA Advisors
Cyrus Sigari, executive chairman of JetAVIVA and co-founder of UP Partners
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
“Advanced Air Mobility, AI and Emerging Tech: What’s Next,” taking place at 1:30 p.m. March 25 at the 2026 NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference, will offer attendees valuable insights into the latest advancements shaping the industry.
The DOT and FAA announced eight projects in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).
NBAA welcomed a bipartisan bill, introduced in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, that would enhance transparency, predictability and accountability in the FAA's aircraft type certification process.
