Are Air Taxis coming soon to your neighbourhood in Mumbai?

Since the Wright brothers introduced the Wright Flyer in 1903, air travel has increased exponentially over a century.

Aviation technology has improved leaps and bounds in terms of comfort, safety, and reliability. More people worldwide can fly thanks to the introduction of low-cost travel. In India, as of March 2022, 248 lakh (24.8 million) passengers travelled by air, a 6% increase from the previous year. Now the aviation industry has started looking toward a future where air travel can cover intra-city and shorter routes. With India, the second most populated country in the world, being home to 1.5 billion people, traffic in major cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore can take up almost 4 hours of commuter's day. To combat this problem, air taxis are being touted as a solution, which will take off from a pad on top of a high-rise building and land on another pad at the airport or in a densely populated area.
