EUREKA Solution 2 Demo Day to Showcase Vertiport Collaborative Traffic Management in Palma de Mallorca
The EUREKA Project, funded by SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking, will host the EUREKA Solution 2 Demo Day on 4 February 2026 at Palma de Mallorca Airport, bringing together key stakeholders from across the Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) ecosystem.
OUR OBJECTIVES
Enable the Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) accommodation in Europe and safe and autonomous IAM operations in all types of airspace with a special focus on a key enabler for the IAM operations: Vertiports Support development of the U-space regulatory framework and necessary standards

About the EUREKA Project
Collaborative traffic management
The Vertiport Collaborative Traffic Management system introduced by EUREKA acts as the central management system for IAM traffic at vertiports. By centralizing critical airside ground information such as availability, schedules, and capacity constraints, V-CTM contributes to creating a comprehensive operational picture. This system is pivotal for managing both the vertiport environment and extending its capabilities to address the U-space airspace’s capacity constraints through the Corridor Management service of the CIS platform. This enhancement is geared towards maintaining operational efficiency and safety, ensuring a smooth integration with the broader U-space ecosystem.
Network Flow, Capacity & Operational Management
To enhance the efficiency and operational coordination of multiple vertiports, EUREKA introduces the Vertiport Network Manager (V-NM). This role is crucial for monitoring and managing multiple vertiports across an urban network, whether located in controlled or uncontrolled airspace or co-located with airports. The V-NM ensures the seamless interaction between vertiports, contributing to the overall efficiency of the ATM processes and airport throughput, and plays a critical role in maintaining the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the IAM vertiport ecosystem in diverse airspace classes. Together, these solutions contribute to advancing the state of the art for (un)crewed VCAs and establishing vertiports as integral components of U-space and future IAM transportation networks, highlighting EUREKA’s mission towards a safe, efficient, and sustainable IAM vertiport ecosystem.
VCA Flight and Operating Procedures for Safe and Resilient Vertiport Operations
Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) relies on integrating vertiports into urban areas and airspace, requiring adaptable procedures and real-time status sharing within U-space. The EUREKA project under SESAR expands U-space regulations to include vertiports, developing performance-based requirements for crewed and uncrewed VTOL operations. It also addresses emergencies and disruptions—such as intrusive UAS or contingency flights—through tactical airspace adjustments and supporting documents like Letters of Agreement and Route Operating Documents, ensuring safe, resilient, and integrated vertiport operations.
