Wisk Aero, a Boeing subsidiary focused on autonomous electric air taxis, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Signature Aviation to develop infrastructure for Wisk's air taxi operations. Signature Aviation is known for its global network of private aviation terminals. The agreement is aimed at supporting the future of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) flights within Signature’s facilities.
As part of this collaboration, Wisk has started a pilot program at Ellington Airport in Houston, Texas. This initiative involves building new infrastructure such as landing pads and creating operational workflows to support the upcoming aircraft. The project is intended to establish groundwork not only for Wisk but also for other air taxi operators.
According to the companies, "With this MOU, Wisk aims to pinpoint and evaluate vertiport deployment locations across Signature's terminal network. Wisk will be particularly focusing on its projected largest markets, namely Houston, Los Angeles, and Miami. These markets will help determine passenger demand and achieve regulatory traction for Wisk's aircraft."
