Abstract: This report provides a comprehensive overview of the fast-evolving small air taxi industry and its future scope. This starts by looking at how urban air taxies have developed over the years and providing a snapshot of the current landscape. The study discusses the main application areas, the preliminary timetable when they are likely to be commercialized, and the business models and revenue streams that may emerge from those application areas. It also looks at the different types of air vehicles, their unique features and the areas of use for which they are best suited. In addition, this report analyses the evolving air taxi industry in a comprehensive way. The report aims to clarify the key infrastructure and support resources needed for the smooth operation of air taxis, thereby landscape a representation of the future of the air taxi ecosystem. The present work also discusses legal flight limitations and possible future proposals for air mobility. The goal is to obtain the necessary information for the selection of restricted areas for potential flight routes with the least impact on people. The work aims to capture the evolution of air taxi over the years, up to 2020. The development of air taxi application areas, new business models for air taxi vehicles, and the air taxi industry will grow in the future and main findings and actionable recommendations have been clarified in this research paper.
