Urban V Aims To develop a Caribbean flying taxi network

Italy-based Urban V, recent­ly announced its inten­tion to devel­op a fly­ing taxi net­work for the Caribbean, reports sknvibes.com. The com­pa­ny is owned by Aero­por­ti di Roma, SAVE Group, Aero­por­to di Bologna and Aero­ports de la Côte d’Azur in France and has been set up for the devel­op­ment of glob­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) infra­struc­ture.

Urban V is present­ly in dis­cus­sion with a Caribbean air­line regard­ing a pilot project con­nect­ing a num­ber of islands. The com­pa­ny also plans to estab­lish stake­hold­er part­ner­ships with local air­ports, cruise ship ports and major hotels and resorts.

Mas­si­m­il­iano Pane, Urban V’s Head of Busi­ness Devel­op­ment and Finance, com­ment­ed, “We have the ambi­tion to be among the first in the world to launch Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty com­mer­cial net­works. We plan to acti­vate the first route by the end of 2024 in Rome.”

He con­tin­ued, “Last Octo­ber, UrbanV unveiled in Rome, Europe’s first test ver­ti­port adja­cent to one of Europe’s busiest air­port hubs with crewed pub­lic tri­al flights.”

A Caribbean inter-island air mobil­i­ty net­work is a solu­tion to bridge the island hur­dle, water. In a region that is high­ly depen­dent on tourism, fly­ing taxis will also become a tourist attrac­tion to view the islands from the air and help the local econ­o­my. Ver­ti­port infra­struc­ture is vital to the pro­jec­t’s suc­cess. This could include sites on hotel rooftops and even land­ing bays on lux­u­ry yachts.
