This marks another significant investment from United in flying taxis – or eVTOLs (electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle) Fri, 09 Sep 2022 07:30:53 +0000 https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/united-airlines-has-demonstrated-its-commitment-to-flying-taxis/ https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/united-airlines-has-demonstrated-its-commitment-to-flying-taxis/ United Airlines has demonstrated its commitment to flying taxis by putting a US$10 million downpayment on a fleet of eVTOLs from Archer. Jenny Southan reports Last year, Virgin Atlantic announced a partnership with Vertical Aerospace to create an air taxi network in the UK that could replace airport – and city-to-city – commutes by train and car. Now, United Airlines is implementing a similar plan for the US. Although Californian start-up Archer is still in the development phase of its flying taxis, having the support of a major airline such as United is a massive vote of confidence.
