By 2024 Paris is planning for flying taxis

Visitors to Paris may soon be able to arrive in the city center in style, by travelling in flying taxis. 

Aircraft manufacturer Airbus is working with French transport operator RATP Group to explore the feasibility of "vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles" to operate in the French capital, hoping to bring the air taxis to Paris in time for the 2024 Olympic Games.

$11.4 million project

Efforts will be made to ensure that "the flying autonomous vehicle is accessible to the greatest number of people," the RATP group said.
