Key Takeaways:
Atlantic Aviation is preparing to install charging stations for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxis at New York City's East 34th Street Heliport, with services potentially launching as early as next year.
The infrastructure will support major eVTOL developers like Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation, which plan to operate passenger services from the Manhattan hub, using both CCS and GEACS charging standards.
These eVTOL air taxis are designed to offer significantly faster, quieter, and zero-emission transportation, aiming to drastically reduce travel times to airports and be cost-competitive with ground-based rideshares.
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.
The aircraft—which take off vertically like a helicopter but cruise on fixed wings like an airplane—could begin flying passengers in the Big Apple as soon as next year.
