OUR DUAL STRATEGY:
At VARON, we operate on a dual-track strategic model designed to drive commercial value while advancing the frontier of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM):
IMMEDIATE US B2B CONSULTING: Plugging directly into State DOTs, regional transit agencies, and infrastructure Primes preparing FAA eIPP submittals with 14 CFR-compliant digital airspace engineering, Part 5 Safety Management Systems (SMS), and localized ConOps blueprints.
ACTIVE LATAM OPERATIONAL TESTBED: Executing a pioneering first deployment in Cartagena, Colombia—a self-sustaining tourism operation that will serve as a living laboratory to capture empirical flight telemetry, validate vertiport physics, and build real-world data libraries.
MVO HIGH VALUE PURPOSES
FIRST OPERATION: ADVENTURE & SIGHTSEEING RIDES IN CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA
VARON is actively bringing Advanced Air Mobility into the real world with our first planned commercial operation: Adventure & Sightseeing Rides in Cartagena, Colombia. As one of the world’s first deployments of its kind, this Minimum Viable Operation (MVO) brings electric, silent, low-altitude flight to one of Latin America’s top tourist destinations. Operating over pre-established coastal corridors, natural parks, and beaches in strategic alliance with Aviatur Group, this deployment offers tourists an unforgettable “wow factor” experience while generating immediate, profitable revenue.
A LIVING DATA LAB FOR GLOBAL AAM INTEGRATION
Beyond its high consumer value, our Cartagena operation serves a vital technical purpose: it is VARON’s living operational testbed. While competitors test purely in digital simulations or restricted test sites, VARON will use real-world flight operations to build empirical data libraries that feed directly into our B2B sub-consulting deliverables for US State DOTs and engineering Primes:
ACQUIRE OPERATIONAL KNOWHOW
PRODUCE EMPIRICAL DATA LIBRARIES
MVO COMPONENTS
eVTOL AIRCRAFT
Next generation electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, specifically designed for low altitude adventure & sightseeing rides. Conceived for tourism operations.
VERTIPORT
Vertiport with hangar, control tower and terminal will be constructed in already allocated land inside a private tourism complex in Cartagena, Colombia.
AIRSPACE ARCHITECTURE
Confined airspace and routes defined with Colombian Civil Aviation Authority within private property for our operation. Covers nearby sites like natural parks and beaches.
CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA
WHY LATIN AMERICA LEADS REAL-WORLD AAM DEPLOYMENT
Executing our initial fleet integration models in Colombia offers strategic advantages that accelerate the global AAM learning curve at a fraction of the cost:
PROACTIVE REGULATORS: Civil Aviation Authorities in the region are open to writing newly required regulations for low-altitude virtual airspace architectures and vertiport integration.
YEAR-ROUND WEATHER AVAILABILITY: Close to 100% year-round operational weather allows continuous flight schedules and rapid accumulation of empirical flight hours.
EFFICIENT COST STRUCTURES: Substantially lower costs for vertiport construction, certification, ground operations, and initial placement into service.
HIGH-DEMAND MARKET: Solves complex regional mobility friction while capturing a vibrant, high-volume year-round tourism market.
Implementing First in Latin America
VARON is leading its ecosystem of global partners and collaborators towards implementation in Latin America first, starting in Colombia. Cooperation is underway with the Colombian Government, the Colombian Civil Aviation Authority and other local and global stakeholders for the implementation of our first operation.
The Latin American region offers valuable advantages to undertake the learning curve of the nascent AAM industry simpler, faster and at lower cost, which has shown to be of much interest to global AAM stakeholders which have joined our ecosystem for close collaboration.
- POTENTIAL FOR URBAN SPRAWL
Most Latin American cities, including main ones, are highly condensed and of reduced urban structure size, with a high pressure for city growth, held back by governments’ systematic incapability to provide proper traditional mobility infrastructure. - MOBILITY PROBLEM
Complex mobility problems in the Latin American region encompass endemic factors like systematic lack of proper infrastructure, defectuous infrastructure, public health problems deriving from very high emissions and mobility related criminality, which makes it a priority for governments and regulators to seek innovative solutions for mobility and urban growth in many countries.
- LOWER COSTS
The Latin American region offers considerably lower costs for implementation, construction, certification, operation and placement into service. - NEW REGULATIONS
Civil Aviation Authorities in this region are willing to lead in the writing of newly required regulations for eVTOLs and Avanced Air Mobility for urban use and also open to implement new airspace architectures. - WEATHER AVAILABILITY
Unlike other regions of the world, weather availability is close to 100% year-round for Advanced Air Mobility, allowing for continuous flight operations and faster accumulation of flight hours.
SPECIALIZED B2B SUB-CONSULTING FOR STATE DOTs & PRIMES
Led by in-house 14 CFR regulatory experts and Part 5 SMS directors, VARON delivers turnkey sub-consulting services for infrastructure Primes (e.g., AECOM, WSP) and public agencies responding to FAA eIPP RFPs:
-
Localized Concept of Operations (ConOps): Tailored operational blueprints for regional and municipal airspace integration.
-
14 CFR Part 5 SMS HAZID Matrices: Airline-grade hazard identification, risk assessment, and mitigation frameworks.
-
3D Spatial Airspace Routing: Precision low-altitude corridor modeling optimized for urban geodesics and obstacle avoidance.
-
Vertiport Operational Simulations: Digital twin modeling of ground handling, charging logistics, and passenger flow.
