Eve Urban Air Mobility says its flying taxis will launch in Melbourne in 2026

Uber-style flying taxis are set to be launched in Melbourne within the next five years, according to Florida based company Eve Urban Air Mobility. At an announcement made fittingly in Melbourne, Florida on Monday (local time), the company - which is owned by aircraft manufacturer Embraer - said it planned to launch the flying vehicles across Southeast Asia in 2026 as part of a partnership with Ascent Flights Global. The EVA branded vehicles will first launch in key cities such as Bangkok, Manila, Melbourne, Singapore and Tokyo. New Zealand is not currently included in the rollout plan. The vehicles will be available through an Uber-like app.<br/>
