About the Heliport

The Downtown Manhattan Heliport is one of the most advanced heliports in the industry and provides the ultimate in user comfort and convenience. The DMH, located at the foot of Wall Street on the East River is just minutes away from Kennedy, Newark Liberty, LaGuardia and Teterboro Airports, making it convenient for busy executives, leisure travelers and sightseers who want to experience the sweeping views of the New York and New Jersey skyline from high above.

The Heliport's modern terminal houses administrative offices, an operations control center, a pilot lounge, courier operations, a VIP lounge and a passenger waiting area that boasts first-class airport amenities. Click here for more information on the FACILITIES.

The heliport continues to exemplify the Port Authority's commitment to provide first-class service to our customers. The heliport also provides critical transportation of valuable documents for the world's most prestigious multinational corporations, financial investment and banking institutions, trading organizations and legal firms in the heart of lower Manhattan's financial district.

Continuing the Downtown Manhattan Heliport's reputation for innovation and commitment to customer service, the heliport is open for sightseeing activities on Saturdays, and a host of additional improvements are on the horizon to make this facility better than ever. We continue to look at ways to enhance the service we provide to the diverse set of customers who use our facility.

You can catch a view of this beautiful facility in countless movies filmed in New York City. When the action calls for a helicopter take-off or landing, it's usually at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport.
