Dubai Air Mobility Masterplan

DAEP is provided responsibility for setting the standards for infrastructure and projects for the implementation of a UAM ecosystem within the Emirate of Dubai. Part of achieving this will involve DAEP collaborating with the DCAA on existing regulations and those required to regulate the infrastructure to be developed as part of Dubai’s future UAM ecosystem. A key component of such infrastructure will be the development of so called ‘drone ports’ or ‘vertiports’, referred to as ‘Unmanned Aircraft Airports’ in Law No.4 which aircrafts will operate into and out of as part of the overall UAM ecosystem. Article 7 of Law No.4 specifically places the responsibility on DAEP to approve the engineering designs and plans of the Unmanned Aircraft Airports designated for non-government use, and their stations, facilities, and Infrastructure; supervise and oversee the implementation of these designs and plans; and issue the relevant completion certificates, provided that the designs and plans are compliant with the adopted urban planning requirements and with the procedures for control of traffic and transport in the Emirate.
