What Bluenest by Globalvia does
Bluenest by Globalvia (legal entity Openvia Air, S.L.) is the Madrid-headquartered Advanced Air Mobility subsidiary of Globalvia, founded in 2021 to design, construct, and operate vertiport networks for eVTOL aircraft and drone logistics. Its core product portfolio comprises five vertiport typologies covering urban (Size S/Elevated, Size S²/Resting), variable-volume (Size M²), and water-based (Size Sw, Size Mw) deployments, complemented by a Last Mile Locker (Size XS) for drone parcel delivery and a Vertiport Management System software platform integrating third-party weather (DM-AirTech VertiMonitor), U-space (Indra), UTM (Eve Vector), and USSP (Unifly) capabilities. The company executes demonstration projects across Spain (La Gomera medical corridor, Madrid hospitals under U-ELCOME, Palma de Mallorca under EUREKA), Portugal (with Helibravo), and Costa Rica (with VINCI Airports' Guanacaste Airport and Eve Air Mobility for up to 50 eVTOLs), targeting government/healthcare, airport operator, and tourism/hospitality customers.
Bluenest generates revenue through two principal streams: managed services from vertiport infrastructure concessions (landing fees, passenger services, multimodal facility management) and professional services for drone logistics operations (medical sample transport, last-mile delivery). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are bespoke, and most visible engagements are pilots, MoUs, Letters of Intent, or EU-funded consortia rather than binding commercial agreements. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting airport operators, government agencies, and healthcare institutions, leveraging Globalvia's concession footprint across 11 countries and over 250 million annual users as a distribution backbone while partnering with eVTOL OEMs (Eve, EHang, Crisalion, Supernal), aerospace technology providers (AERTEC, Pegasus Aero Group, CATEC), and U-space integrators (Indra, Unifly, ENAIRE, Aena) to build a full AAM stack.

Bluenest by Globalvia competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Joby Aviation: US eVTOL developer building its own vertiport operations as part of its air-taxi service launch in Dubai and US markets. Comparable emerging player developing integrated OEM + infrastructure model targeting the same AAM end market.
- EHang: Chinese autonomous eVTOL manufacturer (EH216) used in Bluenest's Latin America demonstration. Comparable as an OEM-vertiport hybrid and ecosystem participant; partial overlap in offering turnkey UAM operations including infrastructure.
- Eve Air Mobility: Embraer-backed eVTOL manufacturer developing its own UATM/Vector software and partnering with infrastructure operators like Bluenest. Comparable because Eve increasingly competes in the vertiport-operations layer while remaining a key Bluenest partner and customer.
- Crisalion Mobility: Spanish eVTOL manufacturer (formerly Umiles) partnered with Bluenest for Advanced Air Mobility projects in Europe and Latin America. Comparable emerging player that overlaps with Bluenest on the eVTOL-vertiport integration value chain.
- Skyway: Vertiport design and development company working with city governments and real estate developers on UAM infrastructure, with overlapping multimodal mobility concepts. Comparable early-stage infrastructure developer targeting similar urban and inter-urban use cases.
Broad incumbents
- Ferrovial Vertiports: Vertiport subsidiary of global infrastructure operator Ferrovial (also owner of AGS Airports) developing vertiport networks in the US and Europe. Comparable as a concession-style infrastructure incumbent moving into UAM, with substantially more capital than Bluenest.
- Groupe ADP: Operator of Paris Charles de Gaulle/Orly and 70+ other airports globally, actively developing vertiport infrastructure at Paris airports for eVTOL operations. Comparable because it is an established airport operator extending into vertiports, but competes from a much larger asset base.
Direct peers
- UrbanV: Vertiport network developer spun out of Italian airport operators (Aeroporti di Roma, Aeroporto di Venezia, SAVE, Bologna) targeting Italian and European eVTOL operations. Directly comparable infrastructure-concession play leveraging established airport shareholders.
- Skyports: Pure-play vertiport infrastructure developer building and operating vertiport networks for eVTOL aircraft and drone logistics in the UK, Europe, US, and Asia. Most direct head-to-head competitor to Bluenest's vertiport-network thesis, working with similar OEMs and airport operators.
- eVertiSKY: Vertiport infrastructure company with 6 contracted vertiport projects globally and strategic partner that has designated Bluenest as its operator. Operates adjacent ground/airspace infrastructure to Bluenest's, making it both a channel partner and a near-twin competitor.
