Atlantic Aviation has announced a significant initiative to electrify the East 34th Street Heliport in New York City, preparing for the future of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft operations. 
 

This comes as part of an extended five-year concession agreement with New York City’s Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and the City of New York. The heliport, located strategically in the heart of Manhattan, will undergo a comprehensive utility upgrade, including the installation of state-of-the-art charging stations to support eVTOL aircraft.

Atlantic Aviation is collaborating with industry leaders Archer Aviation and Joby Aviation to ensure the heliport is equipped to handle the needs of next-generation aircraft. Both Combined Charging System (CCS) and Global Electric Aviation Charging System (GEACS) solutions will be integrated into the facility, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of eVTOL models. 

 

This project is a key part of New York City's efforts to adopt more sustainable and quieter transportation options, promising significant benefits for both the environment and urban mobility.

Atlantic Aviation’s electrification project will play a crucial role in the introduction of these quieter, faster, and environmentally friendly air taxis. The infrastructure upgrades are set to be completed ahead of the expected entry of eVTOL aircraft into service, offering a glimpse into the future of urban air mobility.

 

This project underscores Atlantic Aviation’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in the aviation sector, ensuring that New York remains at the forefront of the global shift towards greener aviation solutions.
