The Swiss company Air Dynamic, active in Ticino in particular, has ordered five flying taxis from the German company Lilium. According to information from the «RTS»these electric machines, which can take off and land vertically, could take off in Switzerland from 2026 to connect Lugano to Milan.
Raffaella Meledandri, marketing director at Air Dynamic, considers that the Lake Geneva region could also host such flights in the future. A series of tests in real conditions must be carried out in Paris next year on the occasion of the Olympic Games. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency has yet to issue authorisations.
The costs of this type of transport are not known, but it is aimed primarily at a wealthy clientele. But Lilium, which aims to market its air taxi around the world, wants this new mobility to develop in the long term in the interest of the entire population, we learn on the site of the “RTS “.
