LYNEports & Dunes Aero Sign MoU To Advance Air Mobility Infrastructure In Saudi Arabia
LYNEports, the AI-powered planning platform for aviation infrastructure, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saudi-based Dunes Aero, a specialist in drone mapping and aerial imagery.
The agreement brings together international digital planning expertise and local field knowledge to accelerate the development of advanced air mobility (AAM) infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
Data-Driven Planning For Vision 2030
The collaboration will integrate Dunes Aero’s high-resolution drone mapping capabilities with LYNEports’ digital twin and AI-driven planning platform.
According to the companies, by collecting photorealistic topographic and airspace data directly from the field, projects can benefit from faster decision-making, more precise site evaluations, and planning that respects heritage-sensitive design.
The alliance will focus on incorporating drone imagery into LYNEports’ platform, which will enable accurate placement of droneports and vertiports, and creating simulations that account for terrain, airspace, and environmental factors.
The partnership also highlights the synergy between a global technology provider and a Saudi aerospace innovator, aligning with the country’s Vision 2030 ambitions for smart mobility.
Rasha Alshami, CEO of LYNEports, said, “By integrating Dunes Aero’s high-resolution mapping with LYNEports’ AI planning tools, we can capture data directly from the field in Saudi Arabia, allowing our partners to evaluate sites with unprecedented accuracy and speed. This is a major enabler for Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, ensuring air mobility networks are not only ambitious but also data-driven, sustainable, and scalable.”
On his part, Mohammed Ali Alghamdi, CEO of Dunes Aero, added, “Our mission has always been to unlock the power of aerial mapping for smarter decision-making. Partnering with LYNEports allows us to translate our drone expertise into tangible infrastructure outcomes, helping Saudi regulators, developers, and municipalities design the skies of the future.”
Expanding Beyond Saudi Arabia
For now, the companies will begin by focusing on Saudi projects, supporting regulators and developers as they move from pilot schemes to large-scale deployments.
Over time, LYNEports and Dunes Aero aim to scale their model across the wider MENA region, as well as Africa and Asia, where rapid urbanization is creating demand for sustainable, data-driven air mobility solutions.
By combining local aerial intelligence with a global digital planning platform, the partnership intends to create a repeatable framework for deploying air mobility infrastructure worldwide, with applications in cargo logistics, emergency response, and urban transport.
