The network is designed to bring new mobility and economic opportunity to rural communities. Several vertiports are planned to improve access to healthcare, support air ambulance and emergency operations, and connect residents to regional services, reducing travel times, increasing resilience, and saving lives.

The initiative builds on Upstate New York’s legacy of transportation innovation. The Erie Canal, completed in 1825, revolutionized commerce and logistics. Two centuries later, the Mohawk Valley Landings Network is shaping the future, laying the foundation for a coast-to-coast advanced air mobility system.

About Mohawk Valley Landings Network:
The initial network will connect 12 strategically selected communities, supporting emergency response, cargo logistics, innovation, and job creation. By integrating advanced air mobility, the project will foster rural economic development and serve as a model for regional mobility solutions nationwide.

About Landings:

Its Landings Certified Vertiport Network™ ensures no aircraft is more than 30 minutes from a charging station. When complete, the network will span 2,000 North American locations, partnering with communities and property owners to enable faster transportation, improved services, and new economic opportunities.
