Book a Flying Taxi in New York – The Future of Urban Travel
Need to beat the traffic? Our all-electric flying taxis help you reach your destination in minutes. Book a safe, fast, and eco-friendly sky ride directly from your phone.
Anyone who's navigated Manhattan’s streets knows how unpredictable traffic can be. That’s why the thought of gliding above it all in an eVTOL—looking down on the skyline as you soar—doesn't just feel futuristic. It's closer than you think.
How Our Air Taxi Service Works
Here's how it actually feels to fly: you select your pickup and drop-off—whether that’s at the newly renamed Downtown Skyport (formerly 34th Street Heliport), JFK, LGA, or Newark—right from our app or website. Choose your aircraft, usually a quiet, electric 4-seater eVTOL, then hit "Book." Most confirmations happen instantly, and before you know it, you're airborne.
Flying Taxi Routes in New York
New York’s urban air mobility network is rapidly taking shape. Planned routes include:

Why Choose Air Taxis Over Ground Transport?
Let’s be honest: NYC traffic can be brutal. With an air taxi, you skirt gridlock in minutes, not hours. These eVTOLs are electric—quiet, green, with minimal emissions. And importantly, they’re safe: piloted by professionals, FAA-certified, and equipped with redundant safety systems.
