LuftCar, a pioneering U.S.-based hydrogen-powered eVTOL and mobility infrastructure company, proudly announces the establishment of its new regional office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, signaling its commitment to advancing the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem across the Middle East and North Africa.

With headquarters in Florida and a growing international presence, LuftCar brings a suite of proven capabilities in hydrogen-electric VTOL vehicle development, vertiport infrastructure planning, and AI-powered airspace optimization tools. Its expansion into the UAE positions LuftCar to play a leading role in shaping the region’s urban air mobility and clean aviation future.

LuftCar’s Dubai office will deliver turnkey AAM solutions, including:

- Strategic planning and AAM readiness consulting

- Vertiport planning, design and construction

- Deployment of LuftPAATH, a proprietary AI software platform for vertiport siting, corridor modeling, and mission deployment

- Hydrogen infrastructure integration and zero-emission operations support

A Strategic Partnership with UAE Innovation Leaders

LuftCar’s expansion builds on its successful track record in the UAE, including its strategic partnership with Micromap, one of the region’s leading geospatial and smart infrastructure firms. Together, the two companies delivered the Dubai Horizon II Air Mobility project for Dubai Municipality, showcasing advanced GIS-based vertiport planning, obstacle mapping, and airspace modeling for urban integration of AAM.

“We are excited to work alongside UAE stakeholders to co-develop scalable vertiport infrastructure and lay the foundation for the future of mobility,” said Santh Sathya, CEO and Inventor of LuftCar.

Toward Local Manufacturing and Hydrogen Corridor Development

As part of its long-term vision, LuftCar aims to manufacture its patented modular air-and-road eVTOL vehicles in the UAE to serve the broader Middle East market. The company also plans to establish green hydrogen mobility corridors, supported by integrated LuftPads (vertiports with hydrogen refueling capability), contributing to UAE’s Net Zero 2050, Make it in the Emirates, and Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan goals.

Global Traction, Local Relevance

LuftCar’s growing global momentum includes:

- Scaled autonomous prototype development completed

- Purchase order for 19 vehicles

- Collaboration with the several state run Department of Transportation entities for vertiport integration ongoing vertiport engagements in the US

- LOI for air ambulance use

- MOUs with four global airports, with expanding interest from airport and defense sectors

- Expression of interest from air cargo companies

- Multiple awards for innovation in cleantech, defense, and mobility

Invitation to Collaborate

LuftCar is actively engaging with real estate developers, airport operators, and government entities across the UAE to co-develop vertiport infrastructure in mixed-use, logistics, and innovation zones. The company invites Emirati investors and stakeholders to join in shaping a hydrogen-powered AAM future—grounded in American engineering, global partnerships, and local execution.
