The Original Downtown Skyport
It started here. And it starts here again.
In the 1930s, Downtown Skyport connected New York to the skies - seaplanes rising from the East River.
Now, the name returns. Same waterfront. New engines.
Before Urban Air Mobility was even imagined, this site was launching bold ideas.
From heritage to horizon, Downtown Skyport still leads the way.

100 Years of Downtown Skyport History
Downtown Skyport is more than a project - it’s a legacy nearly a century in the making.In the 1930s, when New York first imagined the skies as part of its infrastructure, seaplanes lifted off from the East River, connecting the city to the world. Almost 100 years later, that same waterfront is being reimagined as Downtown Skyport - New York City’s flagship multi-modal hub, built for the era of eVTOLs, urban logistics, and the Blue Highway.This isn’t history repeating. It’s history electrified.
The Downtown Manhattan Heliport
In 1960, Pier 6 was reborn as the Downtown Manhattan Heliport - the first purpose-built heliport in the United States.From this pad, Wall Street executives, diplomats, and even the President of the United States flew directly into the financial district.For decades, it was the fastest route into New York’s core of power, making Pier 6 an essential gateway for business and government.
2020s Transformation: Downtown Skyport
The concession guarantees the City a minimum $2.75M annually, escalating 4% each year or 42.5% of gross receipts - underscoring the scale and permanence of the Downtown Skyport project.
On April 3, 2025, New York City officially rebranded the Downtown Manhattan Heliport as Downtown Skyport.
At a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), a 20-year concession was awarded to Downtown Skyport LLC (Skyports + Groupe ADP).This rebrand marked the city’s commitment to transform Pier 6 into a multi-modal hub for electric air taxis, maritime freight, and sustainable urban mobility.
What began on the East River in the 1930s with Pan Am seaplanes is now reborn as the launchpad for the next century of aviation, logistics, and innovation.
