Private flight booking platform Flapz is collaborating with urban air mobility infrastructure group Varon Vehicles to stimulate a market for eVTOL air taxi services in Latin America. In a memorandum of understanding signed on November 8, Flapz says it intends to incorporate eVTOL on-demand services into its online portal, which currently offers flights in business jets and helicopters.

Flapz, which is based in Israel and has offices in Colombia, where Varon is based, and Chile, says it wants to develop a customer base for the "ecosystem" that its partner intends to put in place in major cities across Latin America. The companies say they are looking to create a “15-minute-city” concept to significantly reduce travel times in the region’s congested metropolitan areas.
