Urban Air Mobility (UAM) services involve the use of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to transport people or goods within urban and suburban areas. These services aim to reduce ground traffic congestion and shorten travel times by using low-altitude airspace for short, efficient trips. UAM combines advanced aviation technology, air traffic management, and digital platforms to enable safe, sustainable, and scalable urban transportation.
This Financial Model presents a business scenario of an Urban Air Mobility Services Company projecting revenue, operating costs, and cash flow based on fleet size, utilization rates, pricing per trip, and route demand. The model helps assess profitability, calculate return on investment (ROI), and support strategic decisions on fleet deployment, service pricing, and long-term scalability in an emerging transportation market.
The model includes calculations and assumptions for total fleet (5 different eVTOL types) with aircrafts either purchased or leased, Flights assumptions per aircraft type (daily flighta, flight duration, avg. passengers per flight), Revenue from trip fares and Ancillary Revenue Sources (Advertising, Commercial Rentals, Passenger & Cargo Services, etc.), Direct Costs (energy, maintenance, insurance, vertiport fees, etc.), Payroll, Operating Expenses, Fixed Assets & Depreciation, Financing through Debt & Equity, Valuation and Exit multiple assumptions in case of a potential sale of the business.
The structure of the template follows Financial Modeling Best Practices principles and is fully customizable.
