United Airlines Buying Flying Taxis

What is happening? We’ve talked about flying taxi companies. Pilot tests in Florida for flying taxis. Now, let’s talk about United Airlines snapping up flying taxis. It’s happening, people…it is really happening.

Why is this important? United Airlines paid a $10 million deposit for 100 electric flying taxis. They have an agreement with Archer Aviation to buy up to 200 flying taxis.

How will this be important? Some say airlines see flying taxis as a means to reduce their carbon foot print. Just think if Kylie Kardashian took a flying taxi instead of her private jet in lieu of the 30 minute drive she wanted to avoid. Would the headlines have changed? Who knows the media has a perpetual fascination with the Kardashians.
