PODCAST: Kevin Cox of VertiPorts by Atlantic on Using Data to Map Out Key Vertiport Locations

In this episode, host Jason Pritchard speak­ing with Kevin Cox, CEO of Ver­ti­ports by Atlantic, about the future of infra­struc­ture for Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty.

Cox explains how the com­pa­ny orig­i­nat­ed from a team ini­tial­ly assem­bled by Fer­rovial to focus on the infra­struc­ture need­ed for eVTOL air­craft. After being acquired by Atlantic Avi­a­tion, the ven­ture gained the back­ing of a major avi­a­tion ser­vices net­work with decades of oper­a­tional expe­ri­ence.

Cox out­lines the company’s vision to build a nation­wide net­work of sus­tain­able, air­craft-agnos­tic ver­ti­ports that enable effi­cient urban and region­al air mobil­i­ty. Using pro­pri­etary, data-dri­ven demand mod­els, the team iden­ti­fies opti­mal locations—primarily in dense, con­gest­ed mar­kets where faster trans­port is most valu­able.

The strat­e­gy empha­sizes part­ner­ships with oper­a­tors and man­u­fac­tur­ers, dis­ci­plined invest­ment, and lever­ag­ing exist­ing avi­a­tion infra­struc­ture to reduce risk while sup­port­ing the com­mer­cial roll­out of advanced air mobil­i­ty ser­vices.
