AtharX Awarded Support from the Ministry of Industry

---

AtharX is developing a next-generation vertiport platform to support the future of advanced and urban air mobility across the Kingdom. As a core component of the national transportation infrastructure, the platform provides operators, regulators, and developers with real-time situational awareness of activity in and around vertiport sites—from interactions between multiple aircraft to local airflow patterns, noise levels, and operations in dense urban environments.

At the heart of the solution is an integrated digital environment that combines high-fidelity simulation with physics-constrained AI-powered inference technology. The platform continuously assesses wind, turbulence, and traffic patterns around vertiports, helping anticipate risks before they affect operations. This enables safer go/no-go decisions, smoother sequencing of arrivals and departures, fewer airborne holding patterns, and more reliable daily schedules.

The platform supports the full spectrum of advanced urban aviation use cases in the Kingdom, including passenger transport, logistics, and time-critical emergency response. It equips stakeholders with planning and operational tools to test vertiport layouts, approach paths, and operational concepts before deployment—while also helping manage noise impacts and optimize asset utilization once operations begin.

Developed and hosted in Saudi Arabia, the platform is tailored to the climate, urban form, and regulatory priorities of Saudi cities. It supports national goals for technology localization by building deep capabilities in simulation, AI, and aviation systems within the Kingdom.

AtharX aims for this vertiport solution to serve as a foundational layer in next-generation smart-city infrastructure under Vision 2030—enabling a safe, scalable, and globally competitive urban aviation ecosystem that integrates seamlessly with city developers, vertiport operators, and civil aviation authorities.
