We may soon be able to hop in an air taxi and cross the city in a fraction of the time it takes to cross congested roads thanks to driverless cars and drone deliveries.

How will this affect our airways? Does it affect the view, the noise, or the privacy? Or safety? What effect will this have on property values?

In this episode, The CEO of Skyportz, Clem Newton-Brown, discussed the possibility of air taxis revolutionizing aviation transportation within the next ten to thirty years.

He also shared that the idea of air taxis has been in development since 2015, when Uber introduced the concept and many more.
