The Future of Urban Air Mobility is defined in Downtown Manhattan! ✈️
In November 2023, Joby Aviation and Volocopter conducted demonstration flights of their eVTOL aircraft from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport (JRB), a milestone supported by Mayor Eric Adams’ commitment. 🏙️
But this is just the beginning. 👍 The new Request for Proposals (RFP) from the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) is transforming the landscape. The RFP seeks a new operator for the heliport, attracting a wave of new players to the market, including developers of electric aircraft and multimodal transportation companies.
🔝 With New York leading urban air mobility, the Downtown Manhattan Heliport is crucial for the future of the eVTOL industry.
