NEW DELHI/BENGALURU: Get ready to travel from Central Delhi (Connaught Place) to Gurugram in Haryana in just 7 minutes as InterGlobe Enterprises, the promoter group of IndiGo, and US-based Archer Aviation will be launching their all-electric air taxi service in India in 2026. The cost of this 7-minute flight could be Rs 2,000-3,000 per passenger.
Similar services will be launched in Mumbai and Bengaluru to start with. Explaining the trends of the Indian aviation space, with regard to such a concept, a Bengaluru-based aviation expert, on condition of anonymity, said, “This may be a concept in the non-scheduled segment, which includes charter flights, medical aviation, private flights, etc. A shorter-distance electric aircraft may make sense in the long run, but time will explain its feasibility in the Indian scenario.”
