We built the first vertiport in America. Now we help you build yours.
The team behind North America's largest vertiport — and the first U.S. commercial eVTOL route — turns a decade-long operating head start into your blueprint and your operating system.

The opportunity
The aircraft are arriving. The infrastructure isn't.
Electric air taxis are certifying and airlines are committing to routes. The bottleneck is no longer the aircraft — it's the ground infrastructure, and the expertise to operate it safely, profitably, and within FAA guidance. That gap is the opportunity.

What we do
Two products. One company.
We help you build the vertiport — then hand you the operating system to run it.
01 — Develop & Advisory
The blueprint
A decade of operating experience, licensed as a repeatable path from concept to open doors.
- 01
Site selection
Airspace, access, demand, and community fit — the analysis that decides whether a site can ever operate.
- 02
Design & permitting
Vertiport layout, pads, fueling, and passenger flow, engineered against real operating experience.
- 03
FAA & EB-105
Regulatory navigation grounded in a decade of live operations and Engineering Brief 105 fluency.
- 04
Construction
From drawings to a working facility, with the sequencing and specs that avoid costly rework.
- 05
Operations setup
SOPs, staffing, safety, EMS and revenue playbooks — everything it takes to open the doors.
02 — The Platform
The operating system
The multi-tenant software that runs the vertiport day to day — bookings, pads, payments, contracts, check-in, compliance, and reporting. The same system that runs Vertiport Chicago, ready to run yours.
Who we work with
Built for the people who build cities.
Five paths into advanced air mobility — each with its own value, all on one proven standard.
How it works
From site to operations, on one path.
- Step 01
Assess your site
We evaluate airspace, demand, access, and regulatory fit to confirm a viable vertiport.
- Step 02
License the blueprint
You gain our design, regulatory, and operating playbook — a decade of lessons, de-risked.
- Step 03
Build
Design, permit, and construct against proven specifications, with our team alongside.
- Step 04
Launch on the platform
Go live on the operating system that runs bookings, pads, payments, compliance, and guests.
- Step 05
Operate & scale
Run day-to-day on one standard, then replicate it across new sites and markets.
Live operations
Operating since 2015. Ready for what's next.
The proof
Every claim here is backed by a facility that already runs.
Vertiport Chicago has operated since 2015 as North America's largest vertiport — serving corporate, charter, and emergency-medical aviation — and was selected by United Airlines and Archer for the first U.S. commercial electric air-taxi route, O'Hare to downtown. Every claim on this page is backed by a facility that already runs.
- 2015
- operating since
- No. 1
- largest in North America
- 10 acres
- in the Illinois Medical District

We are not a concept — nor an AutoCAD drawing.
The platform
The operating system for a vertiport.
The same console that runs Vertiport Chicago — bookings, pads, payments, contracts, check-in, compliance, and reporting, tied to real operator outcomes.
