Systems and Methods for Assigning and Deploying Aircraft into Skylanes

A method of assigning an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to a skylane includes accessing: (i) a trip request for aerial transport at a particular travel time from an origin location to a destination location within a particular geographic area; and (ii) skylane network data indicative of a plurality of skylanes for eVTOL aircraft travel in the particular geographic area. A subset of the plurality of skylanes are computed as candidate skylanes for servicing the trip request. The candidate skylanes are determined based on a route assessment configured to evaluate an operating constraint associated with respective skylanes relative to parameter data for the particular geographic area at the particular travel time. A selected skylane is computed from the candidate skylanes for servicing the trip request, and a trip assignment is generated for deployment of an eVTOL aircraft from the origin location into the selected skylane.
