Atoms, an industrial AI and infrastructure company, and Joby Aviation have formed a strategic partnership to acquire and develop vertiports across the United States. The companies will initially target Florida, New York, Texas, and California as Joby prepares to introduce early electric air taxi operations. Atoms will develop the sites as multimodal hubs combining electric aircraft, autonomous vehicles, ridesharing services, passenger facilities, and on-site power. Infrastructure for electric flight Joby is preparing early operations in Florida, New York, and Texas through the White House-backed eVTOL Integration Pilot Program. Multimodal hubs for US cities Atoms plans to treat vertiports as urban infrastructure rather than simple landing sites.
