Volocopter and Grab conduct air-taxi feasibility study in Southeast Asia

The study will look into the most suitable cities and routes to deploy air taxis.

Grab and German air taxi firm Volocopter will conduct a joint feasibility study on urban air mobility as part of its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), an announcement revealed.

It aims to further explore the prospect of urban air mobility solutions in Southeast Asia’s megacities.

The feasibility study will look into the most suitable cities and routes to deploy air taxis in Southeast Asian cities, evaluate the best use cases for air taxis, and explore the possibility of joint flight tests.

The findings are said to lay the groundwork for potential future cooperation between both companies, which could include launching services related to urban air mobility.

Volocopter, together with British vertiport owner and operator Skyports, announced last May 2019 that they will build Singapore’s first mobile air taxi port.

The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.
