Advanced air mobility infrastructure group Skyports recently acquired one of only two public heliports in London. The facility, which is close to the UK capital’s Canary Wharf financial district, will now be developed as a potential vertiport for eVTOL aircraft.

The landing site, which is operating under the name Skyports London Heliport, will continue to be available to helicopter operators. Skyports purchased it for an undisclosed sum from private owners who had operated it as the Falcon Heliport.
