Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:) CEO Ed Bastian said Wednesday that the company’s collaboration with Joby Aviation (NYSE:) Inc, to provide air taxi services to airports, will need several years to grow significantly after its initial launch.
Bastian, during an interview with Bloomberg TV, said the first air taxi flights in New York and Los Angeles are expected to begin “within the next couple of years.”
The wider rollout of this innovative transportation option is expected to be a gradual process, potentially spanning “three years, five years, seven years,” Bastian told Bloomberg.
Delta’s investment in the air taxi initiative is highlighted by its approximately 1.4% stake in Joby Aviation, a company specializing in electric aviation technology.
This participation, as reported by data compiled by Bloomberg, demonstrates Delta’s commitment to innovative solutions in the aviation industry.
