Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy unveiled a new roadmap to help bring air taxis into commercial airspace.
In recent years, several air taxi companies have vowed to be the first to conquer this emerging market, offering faster and more efficient travel for both passengers and cargo. However, the lack of permits and certifications has hindered these plans, even driving some companies into bankruptcy.
Such was the case for the German company Volocopter, which aimed to carry its first passengers during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. However, it failed to obtain certification in time and shortly thereafter filed for bankruptcy.
Currently, with President Donald Trump’s support for this type of innovation, some companies see a new light at the end of the tunnel. Wisk Aero, a Boeing subsidiary, expects to obtain the necessary certification to begin transporting passengers in the United States by 2030. Meanwhile, Archer Aviation, a more ambitious California-based company, is developing a five-passenger air taxi and has pledged to operate flights during the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
New roadmap to facilitate the arrival of air taxis
Earlier this month, Donald Trump signed an executive order to launch a flying car testing program. Shortly after, on June 17, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau unveiled a new roadmap to help bring air taxis into commercial airspace.
This federal backing has sparked a wave of optimism among industry CEOs. The United States, along with the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand—members of the National Aviation Authorities Network—agreed to streamline certification processes and standardize airworthiness requirements for these new vehicles.
The announcement was made at the Paris Air Show, a key industry event where aerospace companies unveil new investments, product updates, and striking new aircraft. Several air taxi company executives were present and expressed gratitude for the government’s support. Adam Goldstein, CEO of Archer Aviation, said the announcement is a signal that the industry’s future has already arrived.
This field is known as Advanced Air Mobility, and the aircraft are referred to as eVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing), capable of lifting off vertically like helicopters.
Air taxis could revolutionize the transportation industry
With the backing of the federal government, major investments from the private sector and significant technological advances, the United States is seeking to position itself as one of the leading countries in the development of faster, more sustainable and efficient transportation solutions. This transformation not only promises to reduce travel times in congested urban areas, but also to redefine the mobility infrastructure by integrating eVTOL aircraft into the existing transportation ecosystem.
Overall, the consolidation of advanced aerial mobility could have considerable economic, social and environmental impact. At the same time, the success of these programs could accelerate global acceptance of air cabs, driving international standardization and encouraging a more sustainable approach to transportation system design. If the regulatory and public perception challenges are overcome, this change will be revolutionary for companies in the sector.
