Île-de-France Cancels Funding for Controversial Flying Taxi Project

The Île-de-France regional council has decided to withdraw a €1 million grant for Aéroports de Paris’s electric flying taxi project, citing delays in motor delivery and lack of necessary certifications. Regional President Valérie Pécresse noted that the initial plan included 1,000 public flights between Paris and Issy-les-Moulineaux, but the project faced setbacks. While this cancellation is a setback for the initiative, the council emphasized continued support for innovative transport solutions. The new flight trial is now uncertain, with critics labeling the experiment as effectively abandoned.
