KT is showcasing key technologies for commercialising urban air mobility, including an AI-based traffic management platform and a 5G aviation network, at the 2026 Korea Drone and UAM Expo in Incheon. As part of the K-UAM One Team, it is running a joint booth with Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Incheon International Airport Corp and Korean Air. KT said its platform analyses flight data in real time to detect anomalies and support controller decisions.

SK Telecom has effectively withdrawn from the urban air mobility business after disposing of two-thirds of its stake in U.S. manufacturer Joby Aviation. SKT said it sold 66.6 percent of its Joby Aviation shares in the fourth quarter of 2025, reducing its remaining stake to 0.7 percent from 2.1 percent. SKT invested about $100 million in Joby in June 2023 and formed a strategic partnership.
