If industry executives are to be believed, comes 2025, flying cars will be a reality and people will be travelling in flying cars, literally, including in Dubai, one of the richest cities in the world.

Since flying cars will be very costly, most of the customers will be high-net-worth individuals or millionaires.

There are more than 400 flying cars or eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles) companies in the world that are working to make their products safer and more reliable. And most of them are betting on 2025 to be the year of flying cars.

“Many countries are pushing towards the 2025 launch of flying cars. We are also planning commercial production of our two-seater model from 2025,” said Tomohiro Fukuzawa, chief executive officer of SkyDrive Inc.

The Japanese flying car manufacturer is showcasing a single-seater flying car at Gitex Global 2022. “We are here at Gitex Global 2022 to look for partners or potential customers.”
