Flying taxis braced for takeoff at Dubai Airshow

Flying taxis have been a sci-fi fixture for decades, but one operator says they are finally close to reality, first in the United States and then the United Arab Emirates and India. "What we used to think of as science fiction is now science fact," Billy Nolen, Archer Aviation's chief safety officer, told AFP at the Dubai Airshow on Wednesday. "This is happening, it is real, and you will see this in the market in 2025."
