Vertical Aerospace is making significant strides in the electric flying taxi sector by teaming up with major airlines and infrastructure partners. This collaboration aims to revolutionize urban transportation and enhance connectivity in metropolitan areas. The source notes that these efforts could lead to a new era of sustainable travel options.
Partnerships for Electric Flying Taxi Services
The company has formed partnerships with American Airlines and Japan Airlines to facilitate the launch of its electric flying taxi services. In addition, Vertical Aerospace is working alongside Bristow Group and Skyports Infrastructure to develop routes that will link New York City with key airports, including:
- Newark
- Teterboro
- JFK
- East Hampton Airport
Focus on Manufacturing and Future Certification
Vertical Aerospace will not directly operate the passenger services, as its focus is on manufacturing advanced aircraft for airlines and other operators. The company is optimistic about achieving full certification by 2028, which would mark a significant milestone in the evolution of urban air mobility and potentially transform how people travel within cities.
While Vertical Aerospace is advancing in the electric flying taxi sector, SpaceX recently aimed for a significant milestone in aerospace by pursuing full rocket reusability. For more details, see read more.
