Orlando International Airport (MCO) has begun planning for the development of a vertiport by 2028 for future electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

The aviation authority has identified an undeveloped parcel of land in the East Airfield region, on the northeast side of the airport, as a potential location for the initial AAM facilities. Consideration is also given to an area of land on the south side of the airport near the train station.

As part of the process, MCO will ensure the vertiport is designed for all AAM aircraft being certified for commercial operations by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
