Volatus Infrastructure, in partnership with Wittman Regional airport and Greater Oshkosh Economic Development Corporation, is to build its first permanent eVTOL vertiport in the Americas.

The vertiport is being built at Wittman Regional airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and will include a terminal with amenities, a landing pad and a vehicle-agnostic charging station. Ground breaking is expected to happen late this summer/early autumn, and will be completed in about five to six weeks thanks to its modular design.

“The future of air transportation lands today and it lands here in Oshkosh, Wisconsin,” says Volatus co-founder Grant Fisk. “Volatus is able to provide an infrastructure solution at a price point that will grant greater access to the eVTOL industry.”

Volatus is focused on being vehicle-agnostic and is committed to being affordable, which is key to supporting eVTOL aircraft innovation and implementation on a national and global scale.

"The Volatus development allows us continued revitalisation of our airport by integrating future aviation technology into existing infrastructure," adds airport director Jim Schell.

Founded in 2021, Volatus Infrastructure offers three main vertiport designs, a vehicle-agnostic charging station, plus an app and maintenance programmes.
