BETA Technologies contracted by Abu Dhabi Airports for advanced air mobility

Abu Dhabi Airports has contracted BETA Technologies (BETA) to deploy its certified Charge Cube and Battery Thermal Management System as it rolls out an advanced air mobility ecosystem across the Emirates. This year, Abu Dhabi Airports was awarded a mandate to lead the development of infrastructure, operations, and commercial readiness for a strategic network of vertiports across the UAE. It has selected BETA’s electric chargers and thermal management systems to power its first two sites – Al Bateen Executive Airport and Zayed International Airport, where initial UAE air mobility routes will launch. BETA will also provide onsite technical consulting on equipment and installation, as well as maintenance support and training. The charging system is commissioned at Al Bateen Executive, with Zayed International to follow. With the first regional eVTOL flights expected in 2026, Abu Dhabi Airports’ roadmap outlines a phased rollout of up to 14 public vertiports located at key urban and transit locations.
