Commuters struggling with traffic between Delhi and Gurgaon may soon have a futuristic alternative: an all-electric air taxi service. IndiGo, a major Indian airline, has teamed up with U.S.-based Archer Aviation to launch the service, aiming to have it operational by 2026. Using electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, this innovative mode of transportation will carry passengers from Connaught Place in Delhi to Gurgaon in just seven minutes, bypassing the daily traffic congestion.
The service will utilize Archer Aviation's eVTOLs, which can carry four passengers and a pilot. These electric aircraft are designed to operate like helicopters but with less noise and enhanced safety features. While the exact fare is yet to be confirmed, estimates suggest the 27-kilometer ride could cost between ₹2,000-3,000 per passenger, providing a quick and comfortable commute for busy professionals and others looking to avoid road traffic.
Though there are challenges ahead, such as establishing air traffic regulations and identifying landing spots, the introduction of this service could revolutionize transportation between Delhi and Gurgaon. Moreover, this eco-friendly option is a significant step toward cleaner transportation, offering a glimpse of a future where urban travel is more efficient and sustainable.
