allas CBD (Central Business District) Vertiport is the only elevated public heliport in the Dallas–Fort Worth area of Texas, sporting more than 3 acres of concrete, two spacious
helipads, and parking for fi ve aircraft. In many ways, the vertiport shows the future of advanced air mobility (AAM).
Adjacent to a ground-level commuter rail and bus station, the vertiport is located on a major road through downtown Dallas and has direct access to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas, one of the largest convention centers in the United States and host to more than 1 million visitors each year. This setting aligns with the vision of incorporating AAM as a central element in a transportation hub, moving people and cargo quickly in and out of densely populated city centers.
Dallas Vertiport doesn’t off er hangarage or refueling (though the latter might soon be addressed) but is a convenient drop-off and pickup spot for those who wish to fl y rather than drive to and from the city. It’s also handy for local law enforcement, air ambulance, and news-gathering aircraft.
