How UAM can be a lifesaver
New possibilities to serve society
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has the potential to transform our cities and the way we live. A particularly exciting opportunity exists in how it can support key partners in critical missions, saving lives and helping medical services to reach the people who need them.
This panel will explore the role of UAM in improving healthcare ecosystems whilst also supporting decarbonisation ambitions.

Last year, we unveiled CityAirbus NextGen, our prototype for a fully-electric four-seater VTOL and our vision of what urban air mobility will look like in the future.
In this panel, we will update on the progress we have made building the network of partners that will help us make zero-emission flight a reality.
We will showcase how we have joined forces with key players to provide communities with new mobility services – from launching the Air Mobility Initiative, the first ever working ecosystem of its kind, to securing major partnerships with operators across the globe.
This panel will also explore the impressive potential urban air mobility offers to help save lives and serve society.
Highlights
- Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has the potential to transform our cities and change the way we live. One of its most exciting potential applications is in supporting life-saving missions – helping medical services reach people in the critical ‘golden hour’ in ways that are not currently possible.
- LifeSaver is a new solution from Airbus, developed in collaboration with International SOS. At its heart is a new eVTOL UAM aircraft which will complement existing in-service aircraft as part of a wider life-saving ecosystem.
- eVTOLS can revolutionise air transport as we know it. The Government of Estonia is the first to explore LifeSavers’s potential as part of a wider innovation programme focused on achieving better patient outcomes.
- While LifeSaver has found its first customer in Estonia, the solution is non-domain and non-geography dependent. It can be a bridging point for some countries in creating a new tier of healthcare. And while UAM is by definition an ‘urban’ air technology, it is not only a solution for cities, and is also well suited to large areas with a low population density.
