People attending the Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress in Singapore can tour the vertical take-off and landing station at Marina Bay, which will open to the public on Oct 25. But don’t expect a Volocopter ride just yet. — AFP

A British company says it’s building the world’s first "vertiport” for electric aircraft in Singapore, an early step towards a global network for flying taxis.

Essex-based Skyports Ltd plans to show off the vertical take-off and landing station at Marina Bay during the Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress from Oct 21-25. Germany’s Volocopter GmbH will bring along its electric aircraft for a demonstration flight.
