Interest in the air taxi industry is increasing day by day. A new company has been added to the business model based on human transportation with drones. United Airlines has announced its air taxi business, which will begin in partnership with Archer Aviation. As a result of the partnership established, companies that intend to accelerate their transfer services announced that the service will start in 2025. Here are the details about the newly established partnership…
Transfer flights with airport transfers!
Names from the aviation world began to be included in the short-haul air transportation sector, which attracts more and more companies every day. In this context, United Airlines made an unexpected statement as a result of its partnership with Archer Aviation. The company marked the year 2025.
The company said in a statement that it will start service in 2025. He stated that the first flights to be made will only be between Chicago city center and O’Hare International Airport. If you have a ticket with United Airlines, we can say that you actually fly from Chicago city center to the city you want to go to.
A new record from the Chinese air taxi company!
We are close to the period when air taxis will be used in Turkey and in the world. Related to the subject, Chinese Autoflight has set a new record.
Also, United Airlines and Archer Aviation said in a statement that the service will offer a sustainable, low-noise and cost-effective alternative to ground transportation for people commuting to and from the airport. Although not to the desired point in the city, airport transfers will be easier. The company stated that within the scope of achieving the desired efficiency in these first flights, there will be flights to other areas within the city.
Air taxis, which can easily enter and exit points in the city, can be called drones that can carry people with simple logic. Air taxis, which can take off and take off vertically like them, can land and take off easily in crowded and narrow cities like Istanbul.
The Chinese company Autoflight, on the other hand, made a test flight in the past weeks. Testing the limits of its own air taxis on this flight, the company broke a record. Autoflight traveled a total of 250 km in one go in its test flight. This is the longest flight ever by air taxi.
A start-up company called AirCar from our country is working in this field. AirCar, which has recently started test flights, will fly between the two sides of Istanbul in the first place. The company reported that commercial flights will begin in 2030.
