Tampa International Airport tests electric air taxi for first time

“This is going to be a reality for us very soon,” said the airport’s CEO Joe Lopano.

Flying taxis are intended for shorter- or medium-range travel as destinations within a city or between a metropolitan center and its suburbs, whether for passengers or cargo. The aim of this technology is to reduce traffic congestion and lower emissions. [ AYA DIAB | Times ]
