    How Bristow Group is Leading the AAM Revolution: Leveraging Existing Infrastructure with David Stepanek on The Ways We Move!

    Tell us more about yourself and what you would like to hear! Most companies treat infrastructure as an afterthought in Advanced Air Mobility. Not Bristow Group. In this essential episode, Bristow Group EVP David Stepanek FRAeS reveals how one of the world's largest helicopter operators is pragmatically leading the AAM revolution by leveraging what already exists: airports, proven safety cultures, and resilient supply chains. Imagine turning current airports into multi-asset hubs capable of supporting hybrid, battery, or hydrogen-powered aircraft with minimal new infrastructure, then scaling these solutions worldwide with a company that has a proven track record. That's exactly what Bristow is doing. 🎯 WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: David shares how Bristow's decades of experience in offshore energy, search and rescue, and rugged logistics uniquely position them at the forefront of the AAM revolution. You'll learn why infrastructure costs, energy generation, and safety culture are the three pillars shaping the future of urban air mobility. We break down: ✈️ How existing airports and vertiports can adapt to support multi-vertical aircraft with modular, scalable infrastructure ✈️ The role of hybrid-electric and hydrogen propulsion in reducing operating costs and expanding market reach ✈️ The importance of proven safety cultures and industry-wide collaboration, inspired by offshore safety organizations ✈️ Energy challenges and innovative solutions, including ammonia and hydrogen, that will power next-generation aircraft ✈️ Why the business case is finally aligning for widespread deployment, from regional cargo to urban air taxis 💡 WHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS: The transition to advanced mobility isn't just about new aircraft—it's about transforming our entire infrastructure, energy systems, and safety culture to make flying accessible, affordable, and safe for everyone. If you're passionate about the future of transportation, technology, and scalable solutions—not just theories—this conversation provides pragmatic insights grounded in decades of real-world experience. Perfect for industry innovators, strategic investors, regulators, and anyone eager to understand how existing assets and smart planning will unlock the skies of tomorrow. Bristow's leadership proves that you don't need to reinvent the wheel—just optimize what's already there, with a clear, pragmatic vision. 👤 GUEST: David Stepanek FRAeS, Executive Vice President, Bristow Group 📰 More AAM insights: ElectricAirMobility.news 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to The Ways We Move for weekly episodes exploring the innovative mobility solutions shaping our future. 💚 SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2428454/supporters/new Support the show
