Key Takeaways:
Atlantic Aviation acquired Ferrovial Vertiports, now "VertiPorts by Atlantic," to significantly bolster its infrastructure for advanced air mobility (AAM) and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxis.
This acquisition integrates vertiport development with Atlantic's existing AAM strategy, which includes partnerships with leading eVTOL firms (Archer, Joby, Beta, Lilium) to install aircraft-agnostic electric charging at its FBOs.
The company will continue developing vertiport networks in multiple regions across the U.S., leveraging existing footprints and aligning with eVTOL partners' target markets to establish essential landing, takeoff, and charging facilities.
Atlantic Aviation is betting big on advanced air mobility (AAM).
The FBO network and general aviation service provider on Tuesday announced the acquisition of Ferrovial Vertiports from Spanish infrastructure provider Ferrovial: a move that bolsters its plans to welcome electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxis and other novel aircraft to its terminals.
