IAM in Spain: An overview through the Spanish AIRMOB Cluster's eyes

Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) is transforming transportation by integrating Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs), electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) platforms, and digital airspace management into urban and regional environments. This poster provides a synoptic overview of IAM’s scope—ranging from cargo logistics, emergency services, and asset monitoring to future air taxi operations—analyzing implementation trends globally and across Spain.

Within this framework, the poster highlights the AIRMOB Project (Developing Skills and Capabilities for Innovative Air Mobility, Project No. 101194074), co-funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ Programme. Special emphasis is placed on the Spanish AIRMOB Cluster, operating as a regional Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE). By bridging academia, Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers, regulators, and industry, the Spanish cluster addresses critical workforce skill gaps in autonomous navigation, U-space services, and green aviation, co-designing tailored training programs to accelerate safe, sustainable IAM adoption. By bridging gaps between industry, academia, and Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers, the Spanish cluster also addresses the regional IAM situation, different initiatives and regional stakeholders. Furthermore, it identifies skill gaps that AIRMOB will try to reduce as part of the roadmap pitch of the project.
