Chicago United Airlines said Wednesday it will buy up to 200 small electric air taxis to help customers in urban areas get to the airport.
The airline said it will help electric-aircraft startup Archer develop an aircraft capable of helicopter-style, vertical takeoffs and landings. Archer hopes to deliver its first aircraft in 2024, if it wins certification from the Federal Aviation Administration. United said once the aircraft are flying, it and partner Mesa Airlines will acquire up to 200 that would be operated by another company. According to an Archer presentation to investors, the orders are worth $1 billion with an option for $500 million more.
The Jewar airport model was displayed in the YEIDA gallery
NOIDA: The Jewar airport project has acted as a catalyst for Noida’s plans to build a heliport for air taxi services to IGI airport in Delhi and other neighbouring cities.
The Noida Authority on Wednesday shared with interested private players the heliport’s concept document covering key aspects of the project, including passenger projections.
Though it has set a June 2022 launch date for the heliport in Sector 151A, the helipad’s utility will be in the longer term than in the immediate future, while its feasibility will depend heavily on other large infrastructure projects that have been commissioned in the region but are still in the planning stages.
