The dawn of urban air mobility and vertiports
We all may soon be witnessing electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) zipping across the skies of metropolitan areas around the globe. In 2022, FAA approved vertiport standards for the United States. More recently, plans have been set forth for the development of vertiports in a number of American cities, as well as overseas.
Proposed vertiport on Vas Island in Abu Dhabi – Source: skyports.netThese may be located on ground-based sites or atop buildings and other suitable structures. The ground-breaking differences in urban air mobility will include:
- Quieter operations using electric aircraft
- Zero emissions
- Smaller footprints than traditional airports due to the vertical takeoff/landing ability of the aircraft, though these may be larger than existing heliports.
- Likelihood of future unmanned operations for parcel and freight services.
- Flights at 5,000 feet or below
For city planners, these air mobility facilities (a.k.a. air taxis) will become more and more common as we move further into the second half of the 2020s. And this trend will continue to takeoff numerically over the next several decades. If you think this is just a pipe dream, take note that as of February 2025, more than 1,500 vertiports are currently planned around the globe with approximately 25 percent of those now contracted.
Source: urbanairmobilitynews.comIf your community is home to a commercial or business-related airport, has a dynamic downtown, port facilities, major sport stadiums, or clusters of major business headquarters, major parcel distribution facilities, hospitals, and universities, it will no-doubt become a focus of attention for urban air mobility operations. NOW is definitely the time to begin preparing your master plans and zoning regulations for the dawn of this new age of urban and regional transportation.
Among the many issues to consider for city planners are:
- Ground connections to transit options
- On-site/off-site parking
- Hours of operation
- Landing/takeoff patterns – particularly in relation to other airports and vertiports
- Operation height of aircraft over residential areas – potential sound from rotors
- Lighting
- Landscaping
- Truck traffic for parcel and freight operations
- Emergency services and security
Below are brief summaries of some of the vertiport projects that are open and operational or under development. Peace!
ABU DHABI, UAE
Three (3) vertiports are planned including Yas Island, where the new Disney theme park is planned, Bateen, and Khalifa Port.

Vertiport Chicago has opened just to the west of The Loop. Electric air taxis, include planned service by United Airlines will initially connect the vertiport with O’Hare International Airport.
United Airlines intends to serve Vertiport Chicago with urban mobility air taxis from Archer Aviation – Source: design boom.com Vertiport Chicago – center of the image“The early launch routes will focus in on airport to city center transportation service, which are referred to as “trunk” routes. Once the trunk routes have been established, the next step will be to build out “branch” routes to connect to surrounding communities.”

Even some smaller cities like Sebring are considering the air mobility future. A vertiport is scheduled to be added to the Sebring Regional Airport in 2026 as a mid-state location for connecting to multiple major airports in the Sunshine State.

Between late last Sunday night and very early Saturday morning, I clocked more than 10,000 miles in the air to cover Web Summit Rio, conduct an onstage interview at that conference, and see very little of the city outside my conference bubble. Is that why I’m feeling tired tonight? No, the gardening work I put in yesterday and today had much more to do with that.
4/15/2024: Ep 98 SmartTechCheck Podcast – Apple, NTT Research, Sony, Roku and digital privacy legislation, Mark Vena
My latest bit of podcast banter had me trying to break down the Department of Justice’s antitrust lawsuit against Apple and the odds of Congress making any progress on a comprehensive digital-privacy bill.
4/18/2024: The fight for tech talent, Web Summit Rio
My spot on the conference schedule didn’t come up until the afternoon of the last day, when I quizzed BairesDev CEO Nacho de Marco on the event’s center stage about how that firm aims to meet the software-development demands of clients with a “nearshoring” strategy of connecting them to remote-working developers in Latin America. After a couple of days of other panel moderators telling me that they’d had trouble hearing their onstage counterparts in that arena, I was relieved to see de Marco ably field my questions, replying in NPR-length paragraphs that made my job of panel clock management easy.
4/19/2024: This Air Taxi Is Ready to Help You Skip the Gridlock (If Regulators OK a Flight Test), PCMag
This post was a sequel of sorts to one I filed from Web Summit Rio last year, when the then-co-CEO of Eve Air Mobility talked up the Embraer-backed air-taxi startup’s ambitions to provide fast, clean and reasonably affordable flights in eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft around major cities by 2026. This year, the pitch for Eve delivered by Daniel Moczydlower, CEO of Embraer’s Embraer-X innovation hub, came with a little more realism about how the company’s battery-electric planes won’t fly paying passengers anywhere until regulators green-light its plans.

Air taxis have been quite the buzz for the past two years, are they now running out of lift?
#Whats_Happening: For over two years, the hot new thing in aviation was electric, vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (#eVTOL) otherwise known as #airtaxis. While the #technology has a lot of potential, like many things in the market there can be an excess amount of hype and buzz, far outweighing the level of development or capabilities of the technology.

Exciting progress! EZ Aerospace enabled this proof-of-concept flight demonstrating how Air Taxis can generate more combat power with on-demand advanced air mobility.
Fantastic to be collaborating with the 7th LRS and the Civil Air Patrol to make history. Proud to be part of the AFWERX team.
