BERLIN, Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Be the First to Fly with an Electric Air Taxi

At Greentech Festival in Berlin today, Volocopter,

[https://press.volocopter.com/] the pioneer of Urban Air Mobility (UAM),

announced that the world’s first public sale for electrical air taxi flight

reservations has started. Effective immediately, Volocopter fans world-wide can

reserve their tickets online and be amongst the very first to take this new

form of mobility. The VoloFirst ticket costs €300 and can be reserved with a

10% deposit. There are only 1000 presale reservations available for a limited

time.

The announcement follows Volocopter’s successful demonstration flights in

Stuttgart, at Helsinki’s international airport, and over Singapore’s Marina

Bay. “Based on our public test flights and regulatory achievement record, we

have paved the way to make electric flight in cities common in just a few

years. With the start of reservations, we now invite our supporters and

innovators around the world to join us and be amongst the first to experience

this new and exciting form of mobility,” said Volocopter CEO Florian Reuter.

The reservations are available world-wide on the Volocopter Reservation

Platform. [https://volocopter.com/en/tickets/].

“While the final certification for air taxis is still pending, we do have a

detailed realistic timeline to launch commercial VoloCity flights in the next

2-3 years. Moreover, those who reserve now can receive the latest updates about

our progress and the commercial launch plan,” said Volocopter’s Chief

Commercial Officer Christian Bauer.

Volocopter first made aviation history in 2011 with its “Yoga-Ball” flight.

Since then, Volocopter showed its technological leadership in several piloted

and unpiloted flights across the world. It is the only eVTOL focused aerospace

company to receive Design Organization Approval (DOA) from the European

Aviation Safety Agency. Volocopter continues to work closely with cities and

partners around the world to bring together all expertise necessary to make

battery powered air taxis a reality: regulatory, cities, infrastructure

developers, and flight traffic management providers amongst others.

For now, Volocopter is ready to gain market traction, offer the public their

future services with a realistic timeline, and become the first electric air

taxi company to acquire paying end-customers.
