McKinsey is considered by many the top strategy consulting firm in the world, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it is keeping an eye on the fast-evolving air mobility space.

Robin Riedel is a partner at McKinsey’s and global leader at the firm’s Disruptive Aerospace Sector, which is part of McKinsey’s Aerospace & Defence Practice.

From this vantage point, Robin, who happens to be also an aerospace engineer and a commercial jet pilot, has a rather holistic view of what goes on in this very dynamic industry.

Robin’s team at McKinsey has also been digging into some of the most promising and innovative segments of the new air mobility landscape that is just taking shape. They produce, on a regular basis, a number of reports and very informative content that aims to quantify some of its most relevant aspects, separating hype from reality and presenting a number of prospective scenarios based on hard data and the thorough analysis that characterizes McKinsey’s work.
