An air taxi is an eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft designed for short urban journeys. Air taxis take off and land vertically like a helicopter, are powered entirely by electricity, and carry between 2 and 6 passengers. They operate at low altitudes — typically 150–600 metres — above city traffic, covering routes in minutes that would take 30–90 minutes by road.

Air taxi services are commercially operating today in Shenzhen, China, operated by EHang using the CAAC-certified EH216-S aircraft. Over 100,000 passenger flights have been completed. Commercial air taxi services are expected to launch in Dubai, New York, Miami and São Paulo in 2026, followed by London, Singapore and Tokyo in 2027.

Air taxi fares during initial commercial operations are estimated at £90–£160 in London, $60–$130 in Dubai, and $80–$180 in New York. Prices are initially comparable to premium ride-hailing services and are expected to fall significantly as fleets scale up and battery technology improves. See our routes page for specific fare estimates by city.

Air taxis are certified to the same exacting safety standards as commercial aircraft. Every eVTOL operator must obtain type certification from their national aviation authority (FAA, EASA, CAAC or equivalent) before carrying passengers. Aircraft are designed with multiple redundant systems, automated flight management, and the ability to land safely even with full power loss. EHang's EH216-S has completed over 100,000 commercial passenger flights without incident.

For cities with live air taxi services (currently Shenzhen), you can book via Air Taxi Service or directly through the operator's app. For upcoming cities, pre-register free and we'll notify you the moment flights launch. No payment is required to pre-register.

Most air taxi aircraft can accommodate a small carry-on bag per passenger. Large suitcases are not suitable for air taxi travel. Check the specific operator's baggage policy when booking — some aircraft have a small cargo compartment for compact items.
