Noida Airport and ePlane Plan Future Air Taxi Services
Noida International Airport and ePlane have agreed to prepare for small electric aircraft called e200X.
The aircraft could eventually carry people between airports or around the city.
They could also be used to transport patients in emergencies.
The airport plans to provide places for testing, landing, and charging the aircraft.
ePlane still needs regulatory clearances and must test its aircraft.
The partners will also work on safety rules and how to manage flights.
The agreement prepares the airport system, but it does not mean air taxi services are already operating.
Noida International Airport and ePlane signed an agreement to develop infrastructure and operations for e200X aircraft.
The agreement covers airport-to-airport travel, intra-city commutes, and emergency air ambulance services.
The airport will provide space for proof-of-concept trials, vertiports, and charging stations.
ePlane will pursue clearances from the DGCA and BCAS and conduct prototype and flight testing.
The partners will work with regulators, air traffic control, and state governments on safety and fleet-management systems.
