A little-known Singapore airport, Seletar, may well be poised to become a global model for the future of mobility. Bloomberg reports that Singapore has already signed two agreements with advanced air mobility start-ups, Skyports and Volocopter, which may convert the aging aerodrome into a vertiport, or an airport where flying taxis take off and land vertically, science-fiction-style. While Seletar could be operational as a vertiport by 2024, flying taxis still face big regulatory hurdles, as not one has been approved anywhere to actually take to the skies with passengers.
