German-based flying taxi startup Lilium to set up its first US hub in Orlando, Florida

Its five-seater Lilium Jet has undergone flight tests and, if approved for service, would offer travellers a way to skip traffic and quickly reach their destinations for around the cost of an Uber, said Chief Operating Officer Remo Gerber.

“It’s a hundred times safer than helicopters. Pricing is five to 10 times cheaper,” Gerber told Reuters in an interview. Power use for distance covered is similar to electric vehicles while, because there is no runway, the cost of ais far lower than a traditional airport, ranging from 1-2 million euros for a basic landing zone to $8-$18 million for a major rooftop hub.
