It might seem like something straight out of Sci-Fi but flying taxis in Dubai came a step closer to reality in the last week following an agreement to introduce the first electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) touristic flights from the Atlantis, The Palm.
A letter of intent has been signed which will see a subsidiary of Eve Holding - owned by Brazilian plane maker Embraer - and Abu Dhabi-based Falcon Aviation Services, work together to support the development of an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) ecosystem in the UAE.
The eVTOL is designed for autonomous operations but will operate initially with a pilot on board. The flying taxis will be able to transport passengers to a number of destinations in Dubai, with a focus on tourist destinations.
