air taxis
Chartered short flights
Air taxis are small aircraft, often helicopters or electric vertical takeoff vehicles, that transport passengers on short urban or regional routes on demand.
The term evokes ground taxis—point-to-point service without fixed schedules.
Most current air taxi services use helicopters, though companies are developing electric aircraft for quieter, cheaper urban flights: The startup promises air taxis from downtown to the airport in ten minutes.
