Groupe ADP — Vertiports

Groupe ADP — Vertiports operates as the dedicated Advanced Air Mobility division of Aéroports de Paris S.A. (ADP). The organisation functions as a master developer and operator of physical ground infrastructure required for Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Its primary role involves the design, construction, and certification of vertiports integrated within existing commercial airport environments and metropolitan hubs, bridging the gap between traditional civil aviation and urban air taxi services. The organisation’s most significant programme is the development of a vertiport network across the Île-de-France region. Key partnerships involve Volocopter for flight trials and Skyports for infrastructure technology. Projects have been established at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Le Bourget, alongside the Pontoise-Cormeilles-en-Vexin testbed. The entity works in coordination with the Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC) to establish regulatory frameworks for European urban air operations. Prospective partners should verify the current operational status and certification levels of specific landing sites, as many locations are designated as experimental testbeds rather than permanent commercial facilities. Buyers must confirm specific airspace integration agreements with local air traffic control authorities and the availability of high-power charging infrastructure suited to their specific airframe requirements. Due to the nascent nature of the sector, long-term site access and environmental noise permits remain critical points for due diligence.
