Milan Prepares for eVTOL Air Taxi Services
Plans call for vertiports across the Lombardy region
Lilium Jet
The Lilium Jet will carry between four and six passengers on flights of up to around 95 nm.

Work has begun to establish a network of eVTOL air taxi services in and around Milan in northern Italy. Under a partnership launched Tuesday at the Farnborough Airshow, eVTOL aircraft developer Lilium teamed with SEA Milan Airports and Skyports Infrastructure to develop vertiports. Their first route will connect Malpensa Airport with the city center.

According to Germany-based Lilium, operations with its four- to six-passenger Lilium Jet, which initially will fly to a range of around 95 nm, could start in 2027. The company aims to complete EASA type certification by the end of 2025 and start initial deliveries in 2026.
