Efficient mobility for more sustainable logistics
We built a new mobility alternative for millions of people who face difficulties with conventional logistics. We validated it in one of the world's most complex environments, aiming for global scale.
10x
faster than conventional river transport
40%
more efficient compared to traditional aviation
Global
A replicable model for similar markets around the world.

When time is priority, the means of transportation makes all the difference.
Logistics in remote regions depend on limited options, which may not meet all the needs of the population. Boat trips can take days, and chartering aircraft is expensive.
This bottleneck highlights the lack of adequate infrastructure for efficient logistics, affecting access to healthcare, commerce, and development.
Long travel time
Journeys that should take hours take days via conventional waterways.
The cost of air freight makes trade and access to essential services unfeasible.
Selective costs
Isolated communities are left on the margins of healthcare, opportunities, and supplies.

The New Horizon of Sustainable Mobility
AeroRiver was born with a very clear purpose: To bring accessibility to regions with little or no infrastructure. Among the curves of the Amazonian rivers, we found a scalable solution for other contexts as well.

Manaus
Technology born in the heart of the Amazon.
Em Manaus, a AeroRiver mantém sua conexão direta com o primeiro mercado de validação da empresa. A Amazônia oferece um ambiente único para testar a aderência da solução a desafios reais de mobilidade, considerando grandes distâncias, infraestrutura limitada, dependência dos rios, sazonalidade e necessidades concretas de transporte regional. Essa combinação entre capacidade tecnológica e validação em campo fortalece o desenvolvimento das plataformas e acelera sua preparação para futuras operações.
Manaus is AeroRiver's primary validation environment. It's where we develop and test our solutions in one of the world's most challenging logistics scenarios, transforming real mobility challenges into innovation with global potential.
São José dos Campos
Presence in the Brazilian Aeronautical Hub
São José dos Campos connects AeroRiver to one of the most important aerospace ecosystems in Latin America, expanding access to talent, suppliers, technology partners, and the national aeronautical supply chain.
Get in touch with us and understand how we will change mobility in the Amazon and the world.
AeroRiver is led by a team with excellent training and direct experience in the territory that the technology serves.
Two places, one operation:
AeroRiver has structured an integrated infrastructure between São José dos Campos and Manaus, combining technological development and operational validation in complementary environments. In São José dos Campos, the company benefits from its proximity to one of Brazil's main aerospace ecosystems, expanding access to talent, suppliers, specialized engineering, technology partners, and connections within the aeronautical supply chain.
The operational experience of the Amazon meets the technical excellence of São José dos Campos.
