Wisk Aero, a leader in advanced air mobility (AAM), has partnered with Airservices Australia to explore how autonomous air taxis and other electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft can safely operate in Australia’s airspace.

This collaboration is part of Wisk’s larger goal of launching its four-seater, self-flying air taxi in Australia ahead of the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games.
