Ferrovial Vertiports

Ferrovial Vertiports is a specialist infrastructure developer and operator focused on the ground-based physical requirements for Urban Air Mobility (UAM). As a subsidiary of a major global civil engineering group, the organisation occupies a critical position in the downstream aerospace value chain, designing and managing the specific nodes required for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Its core activity involves site selection, terminal design, and the integration of charging and boarding systems within urban and regional transport networks. The organisation collaborates with aircraft manufacturers and local authorities to establish flight corridors and terminal facilities. Key partnerships have been formed with eVTOL developers such as Lilium and Eve Air Mobility to ensure infrastructure compatibility with specific airframe requirements. Projects are concentrated in markets with high congestion or geographic barriers, particularly in the United Kingdom, the United States, and across mainland Europe, aiming to create scalable networks rather than isolated pads. Prospective partners or procurement officers should verify the specific regulatory approvals held by the organisation for airspace management and ground safety in their intended jurisdiction. It is essential to confirm the status of land-use agreements and the maturity of grid-connection plans for high-capacity aircraft charging. Buyers should also evaluate the interoperability of the proposed infrastructure with multiple competing eVTOL platforms to avoid proprietary lock-in.
