Two Texas airports have turned to eVTOL aircraft developer Overair to help establish vertiports and other supporting infrastructure for advanced air mobility services in the heavily populated north-central region of the state. Under agreements announced on November 16, the California-based company will work to establish facilities at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Arlington Municipal Airport.

The initiative signals the intention of local officials to position the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metropolitan area as an early adopter of eVTOL aircraft alongside other major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, New York, and Miami. The joint study with Overair will assess demand levels and how best these can be addressed with the right infrastructure in place.
