Un modelo para el análisis de la viabilidad financiera de la movilidad aérea urbana

Urban air mobility (UAM) is inching closer to reality. For over a decade, several institutions and companies from all over the globe have been competing to be the first to offer this service. As a result, by the end of this decade, we may witness the first services of this innovative transportation system. Although its implementation won¿t be a simple task, the potential benefits that could arise from its deployment far outweigh any potential risks. The main objective of this project is to analyze the feasibility and potential of urban air mobility as an innovative solution to future challenges of urban mobility. Specifically, this project focuses on assessing the financial feasibility of implementing an urban air mobility business in the city of Barcelona. At the end of this document, the aim is to provide answers to the following questions: ¿ How profitable could an urban air mobility business be in Barcelona? ¿ On the contrary, what factors could jeopardize the profitability of the business? In order to achieve this, a model has been developed for determining the necessary resources, their associated costs, and ultimately conducting an assessment of the future potential demand of the city. Finally, a thorough financial study has been carried out by developing a profit-and-loss template adapted to project finance. Various variables have been incorporated into this template to generate result charts. All of this has been done with the aim of obtaining the most relevant and significant financial conclusions so as to address the previously raised questions.
