The development of air cabs, as planned by the company Lilium, is at a crucial point.
Lilium wants to test an electrically powered series model soon and already has numerous orders, including from Saudi Arabia. However, the company needs state support to bridge the gap until it is ready for the market. Bavaria has promised a loan guarantee and the federal government is also looking into assistance. However, critics doubt the economic success of such projects. Lilium sees air cabs more as shuttles between smaller towns or airports. The prospects for success remain uncertain, especially in Europe, while Asia, the Middle East and Latin America are considered promising markets.
