Aerial taxis set to take flight at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games

Wisk Aero, a company that makes self-flying taxis, is set to partner with the Council of Mayors SEQ for a project that will see the use of aircraft taxi’s during the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.

Wisk Aero was established in 2019 and has already started a trial run of its electric aircraft taxi in southeast Queensland.

The new service is set to be launched Friday at King George Square in Queensland.

According to Adrian Schrinner, the Lord Mayor of Brisbane, the new taxi service will create hundreds of jobs in the region.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Wisk to look at how southeast Queensland can capitalize off the new jobs and economic opportunities associated with this Australian-first industry,” he said.

“We expect to see the emergence of advanced air technology in places like Singapore, Paris and Los Angeles and by 2032 I’d love to see it supporting new and innovative experiences for tourism and travel right here.

“While there’s still plenty of work to do around regulation and safety, the prospect of having autonomous air taxis operating throughout our region and between venues during the Brisbane 2032 Games is really exciting.”

The memorandum will see Wisk expanding their services throughout Queensland in the lead up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.
