How Much A Flying Taxi Ride Would Cost?

The news of flying taxis in Dubai has reached to everyone’s ears, and you maybe wondering about its cost.

Well, don’t worry because it won’t cost you a lot. In fact, flying in Dubai sky would cost you as little as an Uber ride in the future, an RTA official said. Residents as well as visitors can fly in the air taxis as soon as 2026.

Ahmed Bahrozyan, Chief Executive Officer of The Public Transport Agency at RTA, said “We believe that it will be not very far from the price of a normal Uber possibly, and that’s when really it becomes a normal service that anybody can use.”

On Sunday, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, approved the design of the new air taxi stations in the city and said the taxis will start operating in three years.

However, according to Bahrozyan, it could be a while before the prices go down. “It may be initially that the price will be more attractive for tourists and businesspeople who really want to get from point A to point B, and as fast as possible, and are willing to pay maybe a slightly higher fee for that,” he said. “Eventually, we believe as the production of the vehicles increases, the cost of technology comes down, and we start having more demand. We are confident that as we go along, it will become a day-to-day mode of transport for many people living in the city.”

Well, we are super excited and can’t wait to enjoy the ride in an air taxi.
