BJP leader claims Air taxis will be possible in coming days under drone rules

Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia stated “Air taxis are being researched and invented globally and many startups are coming up,” the minister said during a press conference. “That time is not far when taxis, like the ones of Uber etc that you see on roads, you will see in the air under the drone policy. I believe this is very much possible,” he added.

The minister said that the Defence Ministry, the Home Ministry and BCAS (Bureau of Civil Aviation Security) have been working together so that “counter rogue drone technology” can be developed and adopted quickly.
