Airport AAM Readiness Index™
Preparing Airports for the Future of Flight
What Is the Airport AAM Readiness Index™?
The Airport Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Readiness Index™ is a first-of-its-kind proprietary assessment tool developed by AAMRadar to evaluate how prepared airports are for the coming wave of electric aviation, drone integration, and next-generation air mobility solutions.
From electric air taxis to medical drone deliveries, AAM is poised to transform how communities connect. Our Index helps identify which airports are positioned to lead — and where strategic planning, investment, or policy support are most needed.
The Airport AAM Readiness Index Survey™ evaluates airport preparedness across multiple dimensions, including:
Infrastructure & Utilities
Community & Government Engagement
Airspace & Safety Planning
Business Development & Use Case Potential
Partnerships & Innovation Ecosystems
Airports are assessed to establish a baseline of AAM readiness using both qualitative and quantitative inputs, including planning documentation, grant activity, workforce development, and local economic conditions. The Index also incorporates input from airport managers, regional planners, and industry partners. The Index is not a ranking, but a planning tool—designed to guide conversations, identify opportunities, and support readiness efforts.

Why the Airport AAM Readiness Index™ Matters
Public-use airports will serve as critical nodes in emerging AAM ecosystems—from cargo and public safety to regional passenger operations. Positioning now is essential to attract investment, support viable use cases, and prepare for new infrastructure demands. The Airport AAM Readiness Index™ serves as the backbone of AAMRadar’s mapping platform, helping airports, local governments, and state agencies identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities for AAM development.
Who Should Use the Airport AAM Readiness Index™
Airport Directors and Managers across the United States and Canada are invited to complete the Airport AAM Readiness Index Survey™. Participating airports will receive a free Airport AAM Readiness Index Summary Report™, including their current AAM Readiness Index Rating™. This score provides a clear snapshot of your airport’s level of AAM engagement—useful for demonstrating readiness, building credibility with industry partners, and strengthening funding applications.
