The Vertical Aviation International (VAI) association has submitted comments to the FAA, advocating for the inclusion of vertical flight and emerging technologies in airport investment. VAI urges the FAA to recognize the needs of heliports and other vertical flight facilities, apply funding criteria consistently, and provide flexibility for small and specialized facilities. The association also recommends investments in localized weather-observation capabilities to enhance operational safety. This development was reported by Vertical Aviation International.
