Electric Vertical Take-Off & Landing Vertiport Infrastructure Development and Operator at the Orlando International Airport

The Aviation Authority has initiated advanced planning for implementing electric vertical take- off and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft operations at MCO. The Aviation Authority is requesting information related to vertiport operations, as well as airfield and facility infrastructure required to support eVTOL operations, both at MCO and within a network across Central Florida. To meet this goal, the Aviation Authority will undertake a two phased procurement of a vertiport developer and operator for two sites at MCO. The solicitation will award the non-exclusive right to design, build, operate, and maintain two vertiport facilities at MCO. The vertiport facilities include the public terminal and its support facilities as well as the aircraft apron, taxilane, and Final Approach and Takeoff Surfaces (FATO) (the “Vertiport Facilities”). To be considered for an award, respondents must participate in this Invitation to Negotiate (ITN). The intent of this initial request is to receive information from vertiport operators and developers (and partners) who can support the Aviation Authority’s vision with developing a vertiport at MCO. Disclaimer: Participation in this opportunity is voluntary, and the Aviation Authority will not pay/reimburse for the preparation of any information submitted by a respondent or for the Aviation Authority’s use of that information.
