Whitesky and SkyDrive Jakarta eVTOL air taxi network
Whitesky Aviation and SkyDrive are laying plans for an eVTOL air taxi network in the Jakarta area from 2028.

Indonesian helicopter operator Whitesky Aviation has placed a provisional order for up to 30 of SkyDrive’s SD-05 three-seat eVTOL aircraft. The Japanese manufacturer announced the deal as part of a partnership agreement on August 21.

Both companies said they will start planning eVTOL air-taxi services in and around the country’s capital, Jakarta, as well as in support of mining industry operations. Flights could operate out of the Cengkareng heliport, which is owned by Whitesky, and also Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (WIII).
