SIGNAL-TO-ACTION INTELLIGENCE

Every UAM market decision has the same problem: fragmented data, no baseline, and no way to compare. AirIndex solves that with structured intelligence that connects regulatory signals to capital allocation decisions.

We don't just score markets — we show you the specific actions that move scores, the federal programs that fund those actions, and the operator signals that tell you where commercial infrastructure is concentrating next.

UAM MARKET PULSEISSUE 3 · MAR 27, 2026

AirIndex updated its scoring model this week — v1.3 — and the most important thing it revealed: no tracked U.S. market currently achieves full weather infrastructure coverage for low-altitude UAM operations.

That one change affected 15 of 21 markets. New York saw the largest single adjustment — 70 to 55. San Diego is the only market that moved up, crossing into Moderate at 50.

Arizona is the most consequential state-level story right now. SB1826 and SB1827 both advanced in committee. Joby's first production-conforming aircraft flew this week.
