UrbanV announced five vertiport sites for Brazil's first electric air taxi network at LABACE 2026, with ENGIE assessing grid capacity. ANAC said energy infrastructure, not certification, is the bottleneck, with a realistic launch window of 2028–2030.

• UrbanV selected five vertiport sites in São Paulo
• ENGIE will assess grid capacity at each site
• ANAC: energy grids, not eVTOL certification, are the bottleneck
