Atlantic Aviation acquires Ferrovial Vertiports, wholly owned subsidiary to be known as VertiPorts by Atlantic

Atlantic Avi­a­tion has acquired Fer­rovial Ver­ti­ports from Fer­rovial, rein­forc­ing Atlantic’s com­mit­ment to lead­ing the indus­try in the cre­ation of sus­tain­able infra­struc­ture to sup­port Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) oper­a­tions.

As a whol­ly owned sub­sidiary of Atlantic Avi­a­tion, Fer­rovial Ver­ti­ports will imme­di­ate­ly begin to oper­ate under the name Ver­ti­Ports by Atlantic. The lead­er­ship team of the new­ly acquired busi­ness will con­tin­ue its indus­try lead­ing role in the devel­op­ment of var­i­ous loca­tions for eVTOL oper­a­tions to con­nect com­mu­ni­ties in mul­ti­ple regions across the Unit­ed States.

Kevin Cox, for­mer Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer of Fer­rovial Ver­ti­ports, is now Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer of the Ver­ti­Ports by Atlantic busi­ness.

He said: “The Fer­rovial Ver­ti­ports team is pleased to join Atlantic Avi­a­tion to forge a trans­for­ma­tive and vision­ary pres­ence in the AAM infra­struc­ture space. We’re set­ting a new stan­dard for inno­va­tion and lead­er­ship in the indus­try which will trans­form how peo­ple move seam­less­ly to, thru, and between cities.”

Atlantic Avi­a­tion offers cus­tomers more than 100 fixed base oper­a­tion (FBO) loca­tions across North Amer­i­ca. The com­pa­ny’s facil­i­ties each pro­vide a full suite of crit­i­cal ser­vices to the busi­ness avi­a­tion sec­tor cov­er­ing a wide range of air­craft ground han­dling and cor­po­rate flight sup­port, includ­ing fuel­ing and line ser­vices, ground trans­porta­tion, cater­ing, hangar, deic­ing and ramp space.

Atlantic Avi­a­tion also has a long track record for advanc­ing eVTOL infra­struc­ture, from ongo­ing instal­la­tions of elec­tric air­craft charg­ing sta­tions at a grow­ing num­ber of its cur­rent FBO facil­i­ties to ini­ti­at­ing util­i­ty upgrades at New York’s well-known 34th Street Heli­port to sup­port eVTOL oper­a­tions in the area.

Jeff Foland, Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer at Atlantic Avi­a­tion, said: “We see tremen­dous long-term ben­e­fits and growth in build­ing out infra­struc­ture to sup­port the advanced air mobil­i­ty space.

“The com­bi­na­tion of our oper­a­tional exper­tise with the out­stand­ing work the Fer­rovial Ver­ti­ports team has done so far will serve as a tremen­dous boost to safe and effi­cient eVTOL oper­a­tions as the net­work devel­ops.”

Luke Buge­ja, Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer of Fer­rovial Air­ports, added: “Ver­ti­ports will be an essen­tial ele­ment in Atlantic Aviation’s devel­op­ment of sus­tain­able solu­tions and state-of-the art avi­a­tion ser­vices. We’re pleased to see Atlantic Avi­a­tion embrace Fer­rovial Ver­ti­ports’ inno­v­a­tive work enabling advanced air mobil­i­ty.”

Atlantic Avi­a­tion and its new­ly acquired ver­ti­ports team are based in the Dal­las, Texas area. Finan­cial details of the acqui­si­tion were not dis­closed.
