Volocopter
No longer offering air-taxi service. Volocopter was bought out of insolvency by China’s Wanfeng in 2025 and has retreated to the ultralight market.
About Volocopter
Volocopter no longer sells the air-taxi service described below. The company continues under new ownership in a different market segment.
Volocopter built the VoloCity, an 18-rotor two-seat multirotor designed for short, low-speed city hops, and came closer to European approval than any other multirotor. It flew crewed demonstrations in Paris, Singapore and Seoul and had targeted service around the 2024 Paris Olympics, which it did not achieve.
The company filed for insolvency on 26 December 2024 after raising more than EUR 600 million. In March 2025 it was acquired by Wanfeng Auto Wheel through Diamond Aircraft for roughly EUR 10 million, around a 99.5 percent discount to its 2022 peak valuation. In April 2026 the new owners unveiled the VoloXPro, a 600 kg two-seat ultralight priced near EUR 490,000, which is a private aircraft rather than a passenger service.
For short intra-city hops that can actually be booked today, see EHang, which operates commercially in several Chinese cities.
