Volocopter to launch air taxi service in Singapore

This is the company’s first step to launch urban air mobility in Asia.

Air transport company Volocopter, in partnership with the Economic Development Board of Singapore and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, is preparing to open an air taxi service in the country within the next three years.

In preparation for its launch, Volocopter opened Volocopter Asia Holding and hired Hon Lung Chu as its head of Asia Pacific in Singapore.

Volocopter has been collaborating with Singapore for two years. In 2019, they completed an air taxi demonstration flight in the heart of Singapore over the Marina Bay area.

“Singapore is renowned for its leading role in adapting and living new technologies. Our successful cooperation with EDB, MOT, and CAAS on our previous flight has shown that there is no better place in Asia to launch our electric air taxi services than in Singapore,” Volocopter's CEO Florian Reuter said.
