Book a Flying Taxi in Shanghai – 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.

Shanghai is a city of fast pace and endless energy—but traffic jams, bridge delays, and clogged tunnels can still slow you down. I remember sitting in a taxi on the Nanpu Bridge, watching time slip away. That’s why the thought of a quiet eVTOL whisking me downtown in under 10 minutes feels like an exhilarating step into tomorrow.

How Our Air Taxi Service Works

Here’s what makes it so seamless: first, you choose your pickup and drop-off point. Think rooftops near Lujiazui, the historic Longhua Airport vertiport, or your nearest helipad. Then you pick your ride—usually a 2‑ or 4‑seat eVTOL. Within moments of hitting “Book,” your flight is confirmed in real time. It’s exactly like booking a ground ride—just cooler and twice as fast.

Flying Taxi Routes in Shanghai

Shanghai’s air taxi network is already lifting off. Operating from Longhua Airport, companies like EHang and local partner Hynfar Aviation have launched sightseeing routes along the Huangpu River using the autonomous EH216‑S eVTOL, each flight around 7–10 minutes long en.wikipedia.org+12ehang.com+12iotworldtoday.com+12. Reception has been so positive that authorities are accelerating plans—a goal of 100+ low‑altitude services by 2027 iotworldtoday.com+5iotworldtoday.com+5ehang.com+5.

Expect routes like:

• Longhua Airport vertiport → Lujiazui or the Bund

• Downtown vertiport → Pudong Airport (when commercial ops begin)

• Custom charter flights for business or events across the Yangtze Delta

Vertiport infrastructure is currently being rolled out, with more rooftops and pads coming online soon the-sun.comenglish.anhuinews.com+15unmannedairspace.info+15ainonline.com+15.

Air Taxi Pricing & Booking Options

While commercial launch for public bookings is still in development, early data is promising. For instance, Shanghai‑based TCab (short for “Time Taxi”) is planning to price rides around ¥4 per passenger‑km, which translates to roughly $1.50 per km—making a 15 km trip about ¥60 (~$9) en.people.cn+1en.wikipedia.org+1. That’s surprisingly affordable compared to premium ground transport—especially when the traffic clears out.

When you book with us, you’ll always see clear, upfront pricing. As we grow, expect volume pricing, business or family packages, and flexible options via website, app, or our friendly concierge.

Need a safe, comfortable ground transfer with child seats to your vertiport or the airport? TaxiBambino has you covered.

Why Choose Air Taxis Over Ground Transport?

Think of Shanghai early morning—maglev, river fog, and crowds blending together. Now imagine slicing that commute to the Pudong skyline in under ten minutes, quietly floating above it all. That’s what air taxis offer: time saved, zero local emissions, quiet flights, and a genuine sense of luxury and calm.

Air taxis like the EH216-S are fully autonomous and CAAC-certified, with multiple onboard safety systems airport-technology.com+3the-sun.com+3en.wikipedia.org+3en.people.cn+1the-sun.com+1iotworldtoday.com+7electrive.com+7businessaviation.aero+7. Hynfar Aviation deploys them under strict regulations—so your ride is not just futuristic, but safe.
