Washington: United Airlines is all set to buy 200 flying electric taxis for airport run.
According to details, the flying electric taxis will fly passengers to the airport within the next five years.
United Airlines has become the first aircraft company to make the purchase of flying taxis to facilitate people on airports.
The airline has also planned to invest in flying taxi firm Archer as part of a $1.1bn (£800m) deal to develop the aircraft.
The aircraft need regulatory approval before the purchase can go ahead.
The taxis will travel a distance of 60 miles (95km) at 150 miles an hour (240km/h) and could nearly halve carbon dioxide emissions for passengers travelling to the airport.
"With the right technology, we can curb the impact aircraft have on the planet, but we have to identify the next generation of companies who will make this a reality early and find ways to help them get off the ground," United Airlines chief executive Scott Kirby said in a statement.
