Downtown Skyport
A Name Rooted in Legacy, Built for Tomorrow.
Downtown Skyport in August 1936
This is where it all began. Captured in the 1930s, this image of the original Downtown Skyport tells a story of ambition, innovation, and New York grit. Back then, seaplanes skimmed the East River, connecting the city to distant horizons from right here at Pier 6. Long before the world spoke of “Urban Air Mobility,” this site was already pioneering the skies. As we enter a new era of electric flight, we honor this legacy — not just in name, but in spirit. The past is our foundation. The future takes off from here.
