Another aviation giant joins air taxi project

11-09-22

United Airlines is investing more money in the future of electric air taxis, which the company says could help reduce carbon emissions once the aircraft hit the market and replace car travel.

The airline said it has agreed to buy 200 electric air taxis from Eve Air Mobility, an Embraer-backed start-up, and has options to acquire another 200. Chicago-based United is also investing $15 million in Eve, which went public on the New York Stock Exchange in May.
