The CEO of the company 'Future Transport', Yuri Kozarenko, shared his vision for the development of the air taxi industry. The top manager believes that full flights on this type of transport in Russia will be implemented by 2030.
The serial production of air taxis will arrive a few years after the first typical versions of their use have evolved, as well as after cargo drones throughout the Russian industry show their reliability and safety. Usage in dozens and hundreds of items - this is 2025-2026, and if we talk about widespread use, full flights and deliveries, then this is 2030.
'Future Transport' is currently developing unmanned aviation systems under the Hi-Fly brand for the transport of passengers and cargo. According to the head of the company, at the initial stage, air taxis will be used in the suburbs of Moscow and St. Petersburg, with the help of this transport they will deliver citizens to the airports.
In June 2023, the government of the Samara region signed an agreement with the company to create a cluster of unmanned aviation, which will be invested with 20 billion rubles.
