The topic of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is one of the most exciting urban planning challenges of our time. Gigantic metropolitan regions like the French capital Paris seem to be the perfect environment to establish new forms of passenger and goods traffic. For example with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles. In addition to technological and regulatory challenges, there are also questions about public acceptance and scalable business models that need to be answered in advance.
A challenging transport infrastructure and the need to use modern technologies to reduce emissions of fine dust or gases that are harmful to the climate: not least against the backdrop of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024, the urban development agency Choose Paris Region is currently intensively developing a concept for establishing a UAM ecosystem around the French capital. A concept in which air taxis could be of central importance. In addition to the airport operator AĆ©roports de Paris (Groupe ADP) , RATP, the state operator of local public transport in the French capital, is also involved in the initiative.
