Straight out of a sci-fi movie,

Incheon International Airport has signed

an agreement with giants Hyundai and KT

to work on the Urban Air Mobility project.

South Korea plans to commercialize drone taxis,

capable of travelling between Incheon Airport

to the Seoul financial district of Yeouido in 20 minutes.

This would mean cutting down long travel

times upon arrival to Korea, for tourists and

business travellers alike.

For example, it can take about an hour

to go from Incheon Airport to Yeouido

by train or bus.

Under this arrangement, Hyundai Motor

will develop the drones, Hyundai's E&C will

build the infrastructure required for the

new airport, while KT will be in charge

of Urban Air Mobility Communications.

We hope to see these vehicles in the

skies of Korea soon, and hopefully

catch a ride on it after the coronavirus!
