LONDON: Electric flying taxis may become available to London airport passengers from 2028, a UK company has announced.

Vertical Aerospace hopes its Valo aircraft, which has a capacity for up to six passengers, can get regulatory approval in three years – with the first planned commercial routes to include airport-to-city centre connections.
