Embodiments provide a vertiport system with rotatable surfaces. The rotatable surfaces can be configured to rotate after an aircraft arrives at the rotatable surface. As a result, the aircraft can be allowed to land with a first orientation facing into a headwind, and then be rotated to have a second orientation that is better suited for reset processes at the vertiport, such as passenger exchange. When ready for a subsequent flight, the rotatable surface can rotate again so that the aircraft faces into the wind again for takeoff.
