Episode Description
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.
