Air taxis fly over Jerusalem for 1st time as Israel builds airspace network of drones – Dronery, a subsidiary of Israeli drone delivery fleet operator Cando, operates demo flights of China’s Ehang two-seater air taxi taking off from Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital | Timesofisrael

Israel on Wednesday expanded test flights of air taxis to urban areas in Jerusalem as it prepares the airspace for a drone delivery network of passengers and heavy cargo to ease traffic congestion on the country’s roads.
During the demonstration, which is part of a NIS 60 million ($15.7 million) two-year government-led pilot project, also known as the Israel National Drone Initiative (INDI), experimental flights of an autonomous flying vehicle, a Chinese-made electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft with long-distance capabilities, took off from Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, flew over the hills of the city and landed back at the medical center’s premises after less than half an hour.
