Chicago's First Electric Air Taxi Routes Announced by United Airlines and Archer.
TL;DR
Chicago will be the first city to debut the first commercial electric air taxi route in 2025, offering rides between O'Hare airport and downtown Chicago. Archer Aviation and United Airlines plan to launch the service, which will take 10 minutes and cost between $100 and $150. The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft can travel at 150 mph and has enough room for one pilot, four passengers, and luggage. The service will be available through a mobile app and is expected to expand to other major metro areas like New York City.
