Korea Launches Goyang UAM Base; EHang Commercial Flights Begin in Shenzhen

Korea's UAM development is accelerating on two fronts simultaneously. The National Police Agency selected Goyang as Korea's first UAM operational base, with vertiport infrastructure targeting 2026 completion. The Goyang site will support both passenger transport demonstration routes and cargo logistics operations between the Seoul metropolitan area and Incheon Airport.

EHang EH216-S: Commercial Revenue Flights in Shenzhen

EHang's EH216-S became the world's first commercially operational eVTOL aircraft generating regular passenger revenue. Shenzhen's Luohu District vertiport now offers scheduled EH216-S tourist flights, with EHang reporting CAAC type certification maintained through 12 months of commercial operation. This marks the global UAM market's transition from demonstration to revenue generation.

UAM KoreaTech Strategic Alignment

Goyang's selection as Korea's primary UAM base creates direct procurement relevance for UAM KoreaTech's dual-mobility platform. The NPA's operational requirements — cargo logistics + potential passenger transport — align with KoreaTech's multi-use configuration. KAS Part 21/23 certification timeline targets 2027, positioning for initial operational contracts at the Goyang facility.
