GERMAN aviation startup Volocopter on We dnesday announced its committed to launch air taxi services in Singapore, following two years of "close collaboration" with the city. Volocopter's emission-free aircraft take off and lands vertically. Each aut onomous electric drone can carried up to two passengers. A startup plans to launc h air taxi services in the Republic within the next three years. Its air taxi's first route in the city -state will likely be a touristic route over the southern waters, offering view of the Marina Bay skyline. This could provide S ingapore's tourism industr y for a new attraction, Volocopter said. Volocopter's involvement in this new area of urban air mobility gave the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore the opportunity to co - create regulations or technologies with the industry . This will also facilitate innovation to enable a future mode of transportation for Singapore.
