Paris may offer flying taxis to 2024 Olympics guests
Airbus,
Aeroports de Paris
the Paris Transport Authority
are exploring the feasibility of using autonomous flying taxis to carry visitors from Charles de Gaulle Airport into the city.
When it takes roughly an hour to get into Paris using a bus or train, this could save valuable time that would be better spent finding your hotel and, you know, enjoying the Olympics.
There are already machinations underway.
Aeroports de Paris
has to pick a site for a flying taxi hub in Paris by the end of 2019, and it should be ready within 18 months.
The team will test the link through an “existing helicopter corridor,” according to ADP’s Edward Arkwright.
