European regulator believes the first flying taxis may appear in the region in 2024

“I believe that commercial use [воздушного] taxis could start in 2024 or 2025, ”the source quotes Patrick Ky, executive director of the European Union Aviation Security Agency (EASA).

EASA predicts that the urban air transportation market in Europe will reach € 4.2 billion by 2030, creating 90,000 jobs. It is expected that about 31% of the new market will be concentrated in Europe.

Key said the agency has already begun the certification process for some projects and expects the first aircraft to receive approval by 2024. The speed at which such vehicles are put into service will depend on the issuance of permits. This will take into account whether flights are planned over city centers and sources of increased danger, for example, rail lines.

So far, EASA focuses on projects of manned aircraft for the transport of passengers and unmanned aircraft for the delivery of goods. Key estimates that it will still be several years before fully autonomous vehicles are available.
