Advanced air mobility ground infrastructure specialist Skyports is developing an air taxi hub in the north London suburb of Brent Cross. By 2024, the UK-based company aims to open an interim vertiport facility in the new 180-acre Brent Cross Town development, where 6,700 new homes and workspace for 25,000 employees are being built.

The plan is based on a memorandum of understanding signed on September 23 between Skyports and Brent Cross South Limited Partnership, which is a joint venture between the local Barnet borough council and real estate group Argent Related.
