Atlantic Aviation has extended its agreement with the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) on the management of the East 34th Street Heliport in Midtown Manhattan. The deal puts the facility on the East River waterfront under Atlantic’s control for the next five years.

As part of NYCEDC’s mission of delivering sustainable infrastructure to support the city’s economy, Atlantic will soon upgrade the facility, including installing charging stations to permit eVTOL operations. Plans call for the application of both combined charging system and global electric aviation charging system (GEACS) solutions, and Atlantic is actively working with partner Beta Technologies, as well as airframers Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation and others, to understand eVTOL requirements and adapt the site to meet them ahead of the first eVTOL entries into service.
