The Torrance, California drone maker companions with Alatau Advance Air Group on next-generation drone infrastructure on the new UAM Take a look at Middle Eurasia.
A2Z Drone Supply has partnered with Alatau Advance Air Group Ltd. (AAAG) on Kazakhstan’s Alatau Metropolis city air mobility program. The American aerospace firm introduced the deal on Might 26, 2026. The partnership launched on the opening ceremony of the UAM Take a look at Middle Eurasia within the Golden District of Alatau Metropolis.
A2Z demonstrated how its AirDocks and Longtail multi-mission industrial plane will plug into an built-in unmanned aerial ecosystem. The take a look at middle anchors all unmanned methods work for the broader Alatau Metropolis Challenge.
Constructing City Air Mobility Right into a New Good Metropolis
Alatau Metropolis is a completely new metropolis beneath planning in Kazakhstan. Designers constructed it from the outset as a sensible metropolis that integrates new transport, digital companies, and lately adopted experimental air rules.
That blank-slate strategy lets air mobility plug immediately into town’s grasp plan. Worldwide companions from China, South Korea, Italy, and the USA are funding analysis and demonstration flights completely via personal funding.
The challenge will mix electrical vertical takeoff and touchdown (eVTOL) plane, air taxis, and unmanned logistics drones. A regional community of vertiports will tie these companies collectively.
“Alatau Metropolis is being designed from scratch, which supplies a singular benefit, as air mobility will be built-in into town’s grasp plan proper from the beginning. Over the subsequent two years, we are going to develop the infrastructure and put together for a industrial launch by 2028,” stated Sergey Khegay, Co-Founder and CEO of Alatau Superior Air Group Ltd. “For us at AAAG, this opening ceremony represents a sensible step towards constructing a secure and high-tech next-generation transportation infrastructure that may quickly develop into a part of on a regular basis life in Alatau Metropolis.”
AirDocks and Longtail Anchor the Drone Layer
A2Z was chosen for autonomous and beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) drone operations, dock-based charging, and scalable multi-mission logistics networks. The collaboration will consider last-mile drone supply, infrastructure inspection, emergency response, and autonomous patrol use circumstances.
The corporate expects to scale the drone help infrastructure in Alatau Metropolis with extra elevated A2Z AirDocks. A number of fleets of Longtail industrial drones will serve completely different missions from these docks.
“AAAG’s Alatau Metropolis challenge is an incredible alternative to exhibit how communities of tomorrow will be designed from the bottom as much as benefit from the next-generation applied sciences and progressive rulemaking that may allow useful city air mobility at scale,” stated Aaron Zhang, CEO of A2Z Drone Supply. “Multi-mission capabilities are key to scaling drone logistics operations on a broader scale, and final week’s group demonstration was an vital milestone displaying that a wide range of low-altitude methods can function safely and effectively in a shared airspace.”
A2Z Drone Supply was based in 2016 to carry a patented industrial drone supply winch to market. The corporate has since expanded into multi-mission docks and plane methods offered worldwide.
