Atlantic Aviation is stepping up efforts to support eVTOL aircraft operations with a new real estate partnership in the U.S. On Monday, the FBO group’s Vertiports by Atlantic subsidiary announced it selected Cushman &amp; Wakefield as its real estate partner to develop urban mobility infrastructure in markets such as California, New York, New Jersey and Florida.
The companies will focus on identifying opportunities to use vacant land to establish vertiports for air-taxi operators. According to Vertiports by Atlantic, it is targeting early-use cases in metropolitan areas, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Long Island, and Newark, as well as Broward and Miami-Dade counties in Florida. Atlantic, which operates 105 FBOs in North America, hopes to start securing initial sites by year-end.
Cushman &amp; Wakefield is a global commercial real estate services group with 400 offices across 60 countries. A team lead by Mike Condon Jr., Kent Hindes, and Kylie Rawn will support Vertiports by Atlantic under new partnership.
“Our vision is to reimagine urban connectivity by creating the infrastructure to support passenger eVTOL operations,” said Kevin Cox, CEO of Vertiports by Atlantic. “This initiative represents not only a key investment in sustainable transportation but also an opportunity to provide faster, cleaner, and more efficient mobility options in some of the country’s busiest cities.”

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
