Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is believed to enhance the competitiveness of public transport. However, a UAM service has not been yet implemented, therefore, a possible network load (the number of passengers sharing the airspace) is not known. We designed a UAM network in Munich and its surrounding areas and created a base scenario with a UAM service being a part of the public transportation system. We simulated one day of commuter travelling in the PTV-Visum planning software. We estimated the average of 633 passenger trips per each UAM link. Additionally, we created 2 sets of modifications, which included fare and comfort parameters. Introducing UAM had a positive impact on the Bavarian network. Our results suggested that the cost of the UAM service has a significant influence on the passenger volumes.
