Flying taxis are coming. Cities will need dozens of vertiports.

  • Date: 05/01/2023
  • By 2030, electric vertical and takeoff landing (eVTOL) and other passenger-carrying advanced air mobility aircraft could offer many more flights per day than the largest airlines, according to a McKinsey & Company analysis.
  • Flights will average just 18 minutes, carrying one to six passengers, but frequent takeoffs and landings will require cities, suburbs and retail districts to accommodate new vertiport infrastructure.
  • “Flying taxis are going to happen,” said Benedikt Kloss, an associate partner in McKinsey’s Frankfurt office, in a company video. “The question for me at the moment is when it’s going to happen — not if.”
