Exclusive: Flying taxis set for takeoff, Deloitte says

Battery-powered aircraft taxis are set to take flight as early as two years from now, according to a Deloitte report shared exclusively with Axios.

Why it matters: Electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (eVTOLs) unlock an attractive alternative to airport taxis and short regional flights, the report says, coming with the promise of cheaper fares and faster flight times.

• Also in the eVTOL crosshairs: expensive Amtrak fares.
