Airport operator Fraport AG and German start-up Volocopter have announced plans to explore the use of autonomous flying taxis at Germany鈥檚 Frankfurt Airport. In , the companies said they were 鈥渄eveloping concepts鈥� for air taxi services to ferry passengers from local urban centers to Frankfurt Airport, one of Europe鈥檚 busiest air hubs. Startup Volocopter is currently testing electric-powered 鈥榤ulticopters鈥� that can take off vertically. 鈥淏ased on drone technology, the Volocopter offers space for two people and is a suitable urban transport solution thanks to its quiet and zero-emissions flying,鈥� the companies鈥� press release says.

According to , the first air taxis will be in operation in as little as five years鈥� time. 鈥淎s early as 2025, air taxis will be carrying passengers in large cities on the first fixed routes,鈥� predicts study author Daniel Guffarth. 鈥淥nce the first pilot projects have proved successful, policymakers will be open to trial routes in Germany too.鈥� The study argues that German carmakers鈥� reputation for quality and safety mean they have good prospects in the market for air taxis.
