Atlantia and Aeroporti di Roma to bring Volocopter’s electric air taxis to Italy

During the events you will be able to see and enter in the VoloCity, a two-seater electric air taxi, which will be the protagonist of how Urban Air Mobility will solve heavily congested city centers across the world. As an entirely new mobility service, it will offer transportation for people and goods that is battery-powered and thus emission-free in flight.
Together with the Italian authorities and regulators and with our full support, Aeroporti di Roma and Volocopter, will raise public awareness about UAM and pave the way to bring it to Italy within the next 2-3 years. In particular, the new service will connect the international airport in Fiumicino “Leonardo da Vinci” with many places in the city of Rome, through airports for vertical mobility, also called “vertiports”. This will allow to travel in comfort and quality, reducing greatly both the congestion of urban traffic and CO2 emissions, as the 18 engines of VoloCity operate in electric mode.
As one of the main holding companies at global level specialized in strategic investments in the airport and motorway sector, as well as in the development of new forms of sustainable mobility, we are the main shareholder of Aeroporti di Roma and Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur and we have recently invested in Volocopter, together with other major international companies. The development and promotion of businesses integrated with environmental sustainability and technological innovation represent one of our main strategic lines of growth.
