1. The Opportunity Through this Invitation for Offers: Expression of Interest (“IEOI”), The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (“Port Authority”) is seeking bona fide Expressions of Interest (“EOI”) from qualified Respondents interested in an opportunity to Lease, Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Maintain (“DBFOM”) a common-use Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (“eVTOL”) Vertiport at LaGuardia Airport (“LGA”) (“Respondents”). The proposed location of the Vertiport is the rooftop of the LGA Terminal C Parking Garage.

The Port Authority’s issuance of this IEOI begins a two-step process. First, the Port Authority will review all submitted EOIs and then advance all Respondents to the next phase of the process.

Second, the Port Authority plans to issue an Invitation for Offers (“IFO”), in Q3 2026, to all Respondents, whether single entity, partnership, or joint venture, to submit offers to enter into a development lease to DBFOM an eVTOL Vertiport at LGA.

eVTOL are aircraft powered by electric propulsion that can take off and land vertically, without a runway. They are designed for short-distance travel, often in urban environments, and typically carry between two to six passengers, depending on the model.

The Port Authority has several strategic goals for this opportunity:

• Operate a common-use facility, solely for eVTOL aircraft for passenger operations, capable of accommodating multiple original equipment manufacturers and operators without exclusivity or proprietary constraints.

• The Vertiport must be sufficiently flexible to accommodate all eVTOL aircraft that are currently receiving, or reasonably anticipated to receive, Federal Aviation Administration type certification, as well as future aircraft with comparable operational and physical characteristics.

• Support the introduction and long-term integration of a new class of electric aircraft as part of the Port Authority’s broader commitment to aviation sustainability, emissions reduction, and innovation.

• Minimize impacts to existing airport operations, including the preservation of parking capacity. Any Vertiport concept should be designed to minimally displace existing parking spaces, while maintaining safe and efficient access for passengers, vehicles, and emergency services.

• Support anticipated growth in passenger demand and eVTOL operations over the next several years.

Responses to this IEOI shall be transmitted via the Euna Procurement platform (formerly known as Bonfire) not later than 4:00 P.M. EST. on May 29, 2026. Responses received after this time will not be accepted. Additional submittal requirements are detailed below.

2. Site Overview The LGA Terminal C Parking Garage roof is the current site allotted for the future Vertiport operation. The parking garage, located adjacent to Terminal C, was originally built in 2015 and later expanded in 2024. The total area (approximately 96,000 square feet) being considered for potential development is highlighted in green in the images below. Concepts can include the total area or a portion of the site.
