Hyundai says its electric air taxi business will take flight in 2028

Hyundai plans to launch an electric air taxi business in 2028, the company said at CES 2024 during the reveal of its latest evTOL.

Supernal, the advanced air mobility company under Hyundai Motor Group, took the wraps off its latest iteration of an electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft called the S-A2 that executives say is designed to shuttle passengers by 2028. The S-A2 is essentially a more fully baked version of what it intends to launch commercially and confirms that, at least for now, Hyundai is still intent on getting into the yet-to-exist electric air taxi business. At that time, Hyundai announced a partnership with Uber Elevate — a company that was gobbled up by Joby Aviation — to develop and potentially mass produce air taxis for a future aerial ride share network.
