Drone taxi project takes flight at Colombo Port City

A drone taxi project at Colombo Port City has drawn attention with a passenger-style aircraft flying over the waterfront. The compact, multi-rotor aircraft was seen above the seafront beside the development.

The project is being presented as a first drone taxi service for the region, bringing the prospect of short-distance air travel to the Colombo waterfront. The aircraft has an enclosed cabin and multiple rotors arranged around its body.

Passenger fares, public booking arrangements, a regular operating timetable and details of aviation approvals were not available in the announcement. The flight appearance alone does not establish when a scheduled passenger service will be available.
