Texas-based Atlantic Aviation has announced a network of vertiports for air taxis in major U.S. cities. The initiative, called VertiPorts by Atlantic, focuses on building infrastructure for electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) to trim travel times and curb emissions.Among the first cities slated for these vertical takeoff and landing pads are New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, and Orlando. The company is currently vetting suitable sites, including parking-garage rooftops and compact urban parcels of about one acre, with initial construction agreements targeted by the end of 2025. The plan reads as ambitious yet grounded: aiming for rooftops and small footprints suggests a pragmatic path to scale without waiting for vast new land.Atlantic Aviation is already upgrading New York’s East 34th Street Heliport, which is set to become the country’s first vertiport for electric air taxis from Joby, Beta, and Archer. The choice signals a move from concept to concrete, using a familiar hub to seed a new layer of urban transport.Industry experts see the project as a meaningful step for city mobility. In megacities where congestion has become a constant, electric air taxis could evolve into the new “cars” of the sky. The comparison may sound bold, but for commuters tired of gridlock, the shift feels not just appealing, but timely.
