Core offering

Unified Aviation designs, manufactures, and supplies modular heliport and vertiport landing platforms (MESH) along with cloud-based heliport management software (Whirly), and delivers aviation consulting, training, event airspace coordination, and heliport operations services to governments, aviation authorities, AAM operators, and helicopter operators across the Gulf region.

Product overview

Unified Aviation operates as a vertical aviation solutions provider offering a unified portfolio of products and services. The core offerings include MESH (Modular Environmentally Sustainable Hybrid) — a patented modular heliport and vertiport system for sustainable landing infrastructure — and Whirly, a cloud-based heliport management software. These are complemented by an Equipment Store (lighting, beacons, fire suppression, guidance systems), Aviation Events Services (drone shows, airshows, filming), Aviation Consulting, Aviation Training programs, and the Al Hamra Heliport Booking service. The company also provides dedicated Advanced Air Mobility services to support eVTOL integration.

• MESH (Modular Environmentally Sustainable Hybrid): Patented modular heliport and vertiport landing system with integrated fire suppression, solar power, and smart technology for helicopters and eVTOL aircraft. Deployed and certified at KAFD in Riyadh.
• Whirly

Products and services

• MESH (Modular Environmentally Sustainable Hybrid) Patented modular heliport and vertiport landing platform that delivers sustainable, low-impact landing infrastructure for helicopters and eVTOL aircraft. Each module mechanically and electrically couples to form scalable heliport/vertiport platforms deployable for floating, surface, and elevated installations, with integrated fire suppression (DIFFS), solar power with battery storage, and smart sensor technology. Sold with GACA certification support and end-to-end delivery from concept to commissioning.
• Whirly Cloud-based heliport and vertiport management software that replaces manual tasks with centralized, interactive management, providing real-time updates, compliance streamlining, maintenance tracking, dynamically generated HLS plates, and critical operational information access for pilots, operators, regulators, and the public.
• Equipment Store Online e-commerce store offering heliport and vertiport equipment including FATO/TLOF perimeter lights, LED flood lights, rotating beacons, PAPI and SAGA guidance systems, heliport light controllers, windsocks, fire extinguishers, VHF radio receivers/decoders, and solar-powered lighting systems, sold at fixed unit prices.
• Aviation Events Services End-to-end event permissions and airspace coordination services for drone light shows, airshows, aerobatic displays, drone and helicopter filming, and large-scale aerial advertising across the Gulf region.
• Aviation Consulting Strategic consulting for Advanced Air Mobility, heliport design, certification, and aviation events, covering regulatory navigation, stakeholder engagement, infrastructure design, and implementation planning, delivered by former operational commercial pilots and seasoned project managers.
• Aviation Training Specialized training programs including Disabled Aircraft Recovery Training (since 2016) and GCAA-approved heliport training courses covering Heliport Manager, Helicopter Landing Officer (HLO), and Heliport Assistant roles, delivered in partnership with Dynamic Aviation Training at the Dubai training academy.

• Skyports InfrastructurecoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 13 June 2024Skyports Infrastructure partnered with Unified Aviation to accelerate global vertiport network roll-out. The partnership supports rapid deployment of Skyports' vertiport infrastructure globally, with Unified Aviation providing expertise in AAM infrastructure design, certification, and MESH technology integration.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• HeliportConsulting / Heliport Solutions Engineering: Smaller specialist consultancies and engineering firms providing heliport feasibility, design, and certification services across regions. Comparable as adjacent niche consultancies competing for the same regulatory and design engagements that drive Unified Aviation's consulting and AAM advisory work.

Direct peers

• Skyports Infrastructure: UK-headquartered global vertiport developer and operator. Direct peer because it operates in the exact same modular vertiport infrastructure category as Unified Aviation's MESH, and is simultaneously Unified Aviation's announced strategic co-development partner for global deployment.
• Ferrovial Vertiports: Vertiport initiative of global infrastructure operator Ferrovial, focused on site identification, design, and operation of eVTOL infrastructure. Comparable as a larger, established industry participant delivering vertiport networks to the same AAM use cases Unified Aviation addresses with MESH and its consulting practice.
• Urban-Air Port: UK-based vertiport infrastructure company developing modular, relocatable eVTOL landing hubs. Directly comparable because it targets the same product category (compact, deployable vertiport platforms) and serves the same urban AAM and eVTOL customer base as Unified Aviation's MESH.
• Bayards Vertiport Solutions: Vertiport Solutions is Bayards' dedicated unit producing engineered, modular eVTOL landing structures. Comparable because it supplies structural vertiport hardware to AAM operators and serves certification-heavy rooftop and ground-level use cases that directly overlap with MESH's go-to-market.
• VPorts: Quebec-based vertiport developer and operator building a network of eVTOL-ready landing sites. Comparable to Unified Aviation because it designs, certifies, and operates vertiport infrastructure for AAM operators in a similar end-to-end model, addressing the same helicopter-to-eVTOL transition use cases.

Broad incumbents

• ADB Safegate: Global supplier of airfield lighting, guidance, and air traffic management equipment including heliport lighting, PAPI, beacons, and controllers. Comparable because Unified Aviation sells overlapping heliport equipment (TLOF lights, rotating beacons, PAPI, guidance systems) inside its own equipment store, though ADB Safegate plays across the broader airfield market rather than just vertiports.
• Avports: U.S.-based airport operations and management company that manages and operates airside infrastructure for public and private sponsors. Comparable as a broader incumbent in airport/heliport operations and infrastructure services where Unified Aviation operates the Al Hamra Heliport, although Avports serves general aviation airports at much larger scale.
