Ferrovial Vertiports appoints Kevin Costello as Northeast US business development SVP
Ferrovial Vertiports has appointed Kevin Costello as Senior Vice President of business development for the Northeast region of the United States, reporting directly to Ferrovial Vertiports CEO Kevin Cox.
Costello will lead the development of the vertiport network across the East Coast, initially focussed on the New York and New Jersey Markets, and will be based in New York.
As Ferrovial continues to play an instrumental role in the transformation of the future of urban mobility, Costello brings decades of experience across the commercial aviation industry.
He comes to Ferrovial from JetBlue, having served as director of properties and infrastructure development and leading the properties team that works with airlines, airport authorities, and business partners across a 100-plus city network. Prior to JetBlue, Costello held operational leadership positions at US Airways Express in Boston and at New York-LaGuardia.
Kevin Cox remarked: “Kevin has vast experience, regional insight and stakeholder knowledge in the Northeast region and across the US, and we continue building an unparalleled team committed to our mission to transform the way people move within, through and between congested cities across the globe.”
Working with leading manufacturers and air service operators, Ferrovial Vertiports is developing a series of ‘agnostic’ vertiports networks across the US and Europe that will support eVTOLs.
Costello added: “It is a tremendous opportunity to help usher in a new era of transportation by developing the infrastructure that will support the future of urban mobility.
“I am delighted to join Ferrovial, and I look forward to working with communities, public and regulatory officials, aviation and other transportation partners to help fulfill Ferrovial Vertiports’ vision of delivering a next-generation transportation option to cities, travelers, and commuters alike.”
In March, Ferrovial Vertiports and Eve Air Mobility, a developer of eVTOL aircraft, services and support, and urban air traffic management software, agreed to partner to develop safe and reliable operation of vertiports and eVTOLs.
