Travelling from Dubai to Abu Dhabi could take just 10 to 20 minutes once air taxis are out flying in UAE skies

Once air taxis are operational in UAE airspace, a trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi may take as little as 10 to 20 minutes, and the fare would be between Dh800 and Dh1,500. On Thursday, a senior representative of the air taxi firm Archer Aviation provided an explanation of the service's operation within the nation. A passenger using the futuristic ride to travel from point A to point B in Dubai may have to pay over Dh350.

Abu Dhabi gave multimillion dollar funding to Archer Aviation in April so that the company could produce its Midnight aircraft and set up shop internationally in the capital of the United Arab Emirates.The four-passenger piloted aircraft Archer's Midnight is built to make quick back-to-back flights with little time spent charging in between.

The plane will ascend and descend to a height of 500–3,000 meters.

Recently, the US-based company and Etihad Aviation Training (EAT), based in Abu Dhabi, inked an agreement to find and train potential pilots for the company's Midnight aircraft. 

It was announced by Archer Aviation that it would employ foreign and Emirati pilots to operate air taxis.
