United Airlines plans to buy 200 flying electric taxis that it hopes will fly passengers to the airport within the next five years.

The US airline is one of the first major carriers to commit to the purchase of flying taxis.

United Airlines will also invest in flying taxi firm Archer as part of a $1.1bn (£800m) deal to develop the aircraft.

The aircraft need regulatory approval before the purchase can go ahead.

My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.

Very interesting, like the helitaxis in NYC. (Scythe?) I know that a part of what hampers them is the load limits so that you really can't bring much with you, but this looks aimed at the rich.

On the ATC side of things, it could make life more tedious.
