Israel’s first vertiport for aerial taxis is set to be built at Atidim Park, a major business and high-tech complex in Tel Aviv.

The facility, named the ATIDIM Vertiport, is expected to serve as infrastructure for electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, or eVTOLs, within about three years. In its initial phase, it will operate as a dedicated hub for medical aerial deliveries.

The initiative is designed to address transportation challenges in Israel’s densely populated metropolitan area. According to project estimates, aerial transportation could cut travel times by 60% to 80% compared with private vehicles, saving the economy millions of travel hours each month.

Under the plan, the vertiport will initially be built and operated for medical aerial logistics, enabling rapid transport of medical equipment, medications and laboratory samples. It will serve Medica Rafeal Hospital both in routine operations and during emergencies.

At a later stage, the project includes regulatory and planning preparations to certify the facility for electric air taxis carrying passengers.
