Commuters will be able to fly in from international destinations to Abu Dhabi International Airport and then take a flying electric taxi home in the near future.
Abu Dhabi Airports has signed a memorandum of understanding with leading French firm Groupe ADP to explore the potential of deploying a new concept of air transportation that uses electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to move people and cargo. Following stakeholder engagement, a feasibility study, and market assessment to develop the roadmap, Abu Dhabi Airports and Groupe ADP will collaborate on the joint planning, design, development, and operation of ground infrastructure for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in Abu Dhabi.
