China launches flying taxis — market projected at $207 billion
EHang and Hefei Hey Airlines receive regulatory approval for commercial air taxi operations.
China has officially approved the launch of flying taxis. Companies EHang Holdings and Hefei Hey Airlines have received final regulatory clearance, paving the way for the commercial deployment of aerial vehicles. Although an exact launch date has not been announced, authorities expect rapid sector growth within the year.
According to forecasts, China’s low-altitude aviation market — which includes flying taxis, unmanned passenger drones, logistics drones, and other urban aerial solutions — could reach $207 billion in the coming months.
EHang, a global leader in autonomous aerial vehicles, was previously the first company in the world to receive certification for a fully autonomous electric air taxi. Together with Hefei Hey Airlines, the companies plan to offer both scheduled and on-demand flights between cities and urban clusters.
The project is backed by national policy, with low-altitude aviation development included in China’s broader transportation modernization and urban sustainability plans.
