The Organizing Committee of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games announced a business agreement on Thursday to establish “Taxis áreos” that operate in a “vertipuertos” network (take -off and landing spaces) in key venues of the event, such as the Sofi de Inglewood stadium or the Coliseum memorial.
Although the mayor of Los Angeles said after taking the witness of the Games of Paris 2024 that she dreamed with a “car -free”, the authorities work in a plan to avoid collapses for traffic jams and that includes the improvement of the metro network.
The Air Taxi Service will use the Midnight Vertical Electric Landing Airworthy aircraft, with a capacity of up to four passengers, which produces “less noise and emissions than a traditional helicopter,” said La28 in a statement. The objective of this service is for passengers to use a “spring“ “Near a key enclosure, and fly in the Midnight for 10 or 20 minutes until its destination.”

The CEO of Archer, Adam Goldstein, attended the Jimmy Fallon television program last night to count more about the initiative. In a relaxed talk with the famous interviewer, Goldstein explained that their aerial taxis will fly more or less the same height as a helicopter and will be very silent. As an anecdote, he said that his wife had impressed his “flying car”, although he also asked: “But where will the luggage go?”

The network of Vertipuertos Include neuralgic points of the metropolitan area, such as Los Angeles International Airport, Hollywood, Orange and Santa Monica County.
The Midnight vertical take -off and vertical landing plane is equipped with 12 engines and propellers and is piloting a person. Although at the moment the cost of this service is unknown, it is estimated that trips are around the price of a high -end Uber vehicle. In fact, this American transport company will manage applications through its application, according to Los Angeles Times.
In addition to air transfer and improve the public transport system network, the viability of an aquatic taxi service is being studied to transport millions of attendees that are expected during the event.
