Electra and VertiPorts by Atlantic Partner to Advance Ultra Short Operations in New York City

Electra eVTOL Partnership November 5, 2026

Existing infrastructure. New possibilities for regional travel.

We're excited to announce our collaboration with VertiPorts by Atlantic to explore how existing aviation facilities in New York City can support a new era of regional connectivity. This partnership comes on the heels of our successful demonstration at Downtown Skyport in Lower Manhattan.

Why this matters for talent

Electra's deal with VertiPorts by Atlantic puts eVTOL ultra short takeoff and landing operations on existing New York City aviation infrastructure, a practical step toward commercial air mobility routes. Electra is not currently on the Sherwood board, so this signal should be read from the outside, but infrastructure partnerships of this kind typically precede hiring in airspace integration, business development, and ground operations roles. Talent watching eVTOL should track whether Electra posts openings as the NYC program advances.
