Skyports Infrastructure and Linden Airport Services Corporation are advancing plans to develop a facility on Miami’s Watson Island that could be used by both helicopters and new eVTOL aircraft. The companies announced their partnership on Thursday.

A dedicated heliport on the site—with construction planned adjacent to the existing Miami Seaplane Base—has been over 20 years in the making. However, this process has been fraught with legal challenges and delays.
