Supernal, the urban air mobility startup under Hyundai, is moving its headquarters from Washington DC and to California, TechCrunch learned.

Hyundai’s electric vertical takeoff and landing startup Supernal is shifting its global headquarters from Washington, D.C. to Irvine, California and asking around three dozen of workers to relocate, TechCrunch has learned. Jaiwon Shin, president of Hyundai Motor Group and CEO of Supernal, said in a statement to TechCrunch that the decision was made “to enhance collaboration and communication across teams.” Hyundai has been working on eVTOL technology for years, but announced in December 2021 it would spin out its urban air mobility division into a separate business arm called Supernal.
