This paper assesses the market potential of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and cargo-drone technologies in Victoria, Australia. Using mobility and freight datasets, corridor screening, discrete-choice modelling, and simulation, the study identifies significant passenger and freight opportunities. Results highlight emerging demand clusters with implications for airspace integration, infrastructure planning, and future shared-airspace operations.
