Skyway, in Collaboration with Bluenest by Globalvia and UrbanLink, Partner to Build Advanced Air Mobility Vertiport Network Across South and Central Florid

Key Development Hubs in Miami and Orlando to Lead the Future of Regional Air Mobility

Following the announcement of our nationwide partnership, Skyway, a leader in vertiport operations, and UrbanLink Air Mobility, a pioneering independent eVTOL operator and leader in sustainable transportation, are excited to announce the selection of Central and South Florida as locations for the development of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) vertiports, with commercial operations slated to commence in late 2026. With major hubs in Miami and Orlando, this network will transform regional travel, offering fast, sustainable mobility options while enabling economic growth.

The new network will feature state-of-the-art vertiports tailored for diverse eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft, fostering rapid, sustainable connections between key destinations across Florida. In addition to these vertiports, dedicated routes will link major hubs and popular regional locations, ensuring seamless, efficient travel. These hubs will enhance mobility, fuel economic growth, and improve accessibility for residents and visitors throughout the state.

“Our partnership with UrbanLink and Bluenest by Globalvia is a pivotal step toward realizing the vision of Advanced Air Mobility in Florida,” noted Clifford Cruz, CEO of Skyway. “Together, we are committed to creating a sustainable, efficient transportation network that delivers far-reaching economic and social benefits. This network will reduce travel time, improve air quality, and foster new economic opportunities for communities in Miami, Orlando, and beyond.”
