Key Takeaways:
Atlantic Aviation is installing charging stations for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxis at the East 34th Street Heliport in New York City, extending its operations there for five years to support future services.
eVTOL air taxi services from companies like Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation, partnering with Delta and United Airlines, are anticipated to begin flying passengers in NYC as early as next year.
The infrastructure will accommodate both combined charging system (CCS) and global electric aviation charging system (GEACS) standards, enabling faster, quieter, and more sustainable urban transportation, particularly for airport connections.
FBO network Atlantic Aviation is preparing to install charging stations for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxis in the heart of New York City.
