Today, Helinet, an aviation service provider and a leader in implementing cutting-edge technology for a variety of aviation applications, announced its partnership with Urban Movement Labs (UML).

Lessons-learned from the partnership will inform policy and regulatory decisions that will shape urban air mobility in cities. For example, Helinet’s
