JAKARTA – Tourists heading to Bali will soon be welcomed by air taxis as an agreement has been signed in this regard.
The partnership between Sirius Aviation AG and PARQ Development would enable the provision of five vertiports and five hydrogen generators, facilitating vertical take-off and landing, enhancing accessibility, and stimulating eco-friendly tourism in Indonesia.
Under the agreement worth $50 million, 10 cutting-edge hydrogen-powered vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) jets along with tailored support services would be provided.
Moreover, PARQ Development will receive five Sirius Millennium Jets and five Sirius Business Jets poised to revolutionize sustainable travel in Bali, internationalairportreview reported.
“Our partnership marks the dawn of a new era for Bali and its surrounding islands, emphasizing zero-emission tourism, sustainable development, and regional economic growth,” said Alexey Popov, CEO of Sirius Aviation AG.

It is to be mentioned that air taxis are becoming a norm in the modern world and are being used to woo tourists. For instance, the government of the United Kingdom has estimated that the country would see flying taxis by 2026.
Moreover, the government of Saudi Arabia is also exploring the possibility of deploying air taxis for the service of pilgrims who arrive in the kingdom each year for religious purposes.
