About the Journal

International Journal of Urban Airspace Economics & Technologies (IJUAET) is an international, peer-reviewed academic journal focusing on the economic, technological, and operational dimensions of urban airspace systems. The journal aims to advance interdisciplinary research that examines how urban airspace is designed, managed, and utilized through the integration of advanced aviation technologies, intelligent systems, and economic analysis.

The journal provides a dedicated scholarly platform for studies addressing the allocation, efficiency, safety, and economic performance of urban airspace, particularly in the context of emerging urban air mobility (UAM), unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and autonomous aerial operations. Emphasis is placed on technology-driven solutions and quantitative economic evaluation that support the sustainable and scalable use of urban airspace.
