There is a great news for the people living in big cities of India. It is being said that by 2026, IndiGo can start air taxi in the country. Actually, India is rapidly developing vertiports for air taxis. According to the report of the World Economic Forum, India is rapidly developing vertiports, with the help of which big cities of the country can be connected to each other. Let us tell you what are vertiports and which big cities of the country will be connected to each other first.
First know what are vertiports
Vertiport is a special type of airport which is designed for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. In simple language, it is prepared for things like air taxi or drone. That is, there are no runways here, but from here air taxis can fly directly above their place and land. Vertiport can also have charging stations for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Apart from this, there are facilities for passengers to travel and waiting area.
Which big cities are being connected together
Currently, the cities in India which are being talked about connecting with the help of air taxis include Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai. VTOOL flights between these cities can be started soon. If this happens, then it will become very easy to travel from one place to another in these business cities.
Right now, if you travel from Delhi to Gurugram, it takes you about 60 to 90 minutes. If there is heavy traffic, this time increases even more. But, if you travel from Delhi to Gurugram by air taxi, then this time will be just 7 to 8 minutes. The situation is similar with other cities as well. For example, when Bengaluru is connected to Electronics City through air taxi, it will take only 19 minutes to cover the 51 km distance between them.
