Ferrovial Airports went public this week with plans to develop a network of 20 vertiports across Spain. The Spanish infrastructure and airport management group said that the ambitious project depends on it getting a grant for an unspecified amount from the European Union’s European Recovery Funds. It has filed an application for a grant with Spain’s Ministry of Industry and Ministry for Ecological Transition.
