The "6S" Integrated Operations Centre for flying cars, which is now under construction, is another key service hub established by Xpeng Huitian following its Guangzhou facility. Located on Sports Island within Dong'an Lake Park, it covers a planned area of approximately 2,000 square metres. The centre will be developed by upgrading and refurbishing the park's existing buildings, with the addition of supporting infrastructure for flying cars, such as hangars and take-off and landing points. It is scheduled to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2026, at which point trial operations will commence.
