Australia’s South East Queensland (SEQ) region could soon see early use cases for Wisk Aero’s Generation 6 eVTOL aircraft. This development follows a partnership between the manufacturer and Skyports Infrastructure to develop vertiports. On Monday, the companies announced plans to expand their existing collaboration to identify locations for a network of air taxi services.
About 4 million people live in SEQ, with demographic estimates projecting the population will grow to 6 million over the next 20 years. In 2032, Brisbane will host the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, driving further infrastructure development.
California-based Wisk, owned by Boeing, has worked with Skyports since 2022 on advanced air mobility ecosystem projects in other locations. In the same year, the manufacturer also began discussions with SEQ’s Council of Mayors, representing 11 different communities, about plans to use its autonomous aircraft to expand public transportation and tourism.
