The new form of taxi potentially coming to Melbourne

Electric air taxis could soon be a sight in Melbourne in a proposal unveiled at a world air taxi conference in San Francisco.

Chief executive officer of Melbourne based company, SkyPortz, Clem Newton-Brown, says the decision will fall to state government.

“I have property developers who want to build these now,” he told Neil Mitchell.

Press PLAY to hear what the plan entails

Skyportz will be responsible for building a vertiport along the north bank of the Yarra River if they receive approval.
