The Economics of Vertical Mobility

A guide for investors, players, and lawmakers to succeed in urban air mobility 

Vertical mobility has the potential to become an attractive mode of transportation over the course of the next 15 years, appealing to large parts of the public as today’s taxis on the ground do. Yet air taxis are also confronted with traffic woes since their development is fraught with significant risk as well as technical and economic hurdles. 

A new Porsche Consulting study gives profound insights into the field of Vertical Mobility and a guidance for investors, players, and lawmakers to succeed.

$2 bn

in 2035 is the market potential for intracity air taxi infrastructure .
