Present · Lower Manhattan

The waterfront in flight.

Helicopters form the present chapter of New York’s waterfront aviation story. From aircraft beside the river to passengers looking out over Manhattan, this is the human experience of the city from the air.

01 / At the waterfront

The city meets the landing pad.

Pier 6 brings aviation to the edge of Lower Manhattan. Aircraft on the pad, crews at work and the city beyond give this waterfront its character — a place where flight meets the street.

Beyond the skyline seen from the street, flight reveals the harbour, bridges and neighbourhoods as one connected landscape.
