Two Key Partnerships Just Juiced Air Taxi Stocks

Air taxi stocks may be flying under the radar right now, but they won’t be for long. They’re set to deploy this year and shake up the market the same way AI companies have.

Just think about the way Uber revolutionized travel… 

Think about the way people use it and talk about it. Think about the way so many up-and-coming companies begin their sales pitch with the phrase, “It’s like Uber for…”

And now come to terms with the notion that there quite literally is a new version of Uber that’s about to drop in 2025. In a matter of months, if not weeks, these small electric flying machines are going to start touring the skies of New York and Los Angeles. 

Traveling at 200 mph, they cut a two-hour trip to as little as 20 minutes. And at a cost of just $0.50 a mile, they’re far more affordable than you might think.

Of course, if this were just a niche market, I wouldn’t be so excited. Because while a new, novel method of travel could easily create a multi-million-dollar market, it still might not be the investment opportunity of a lifetime. 

Not unless it had the backing of, say, the military. Or perhaps several major avenues of global growth. 

Deals like that would easily scale the air taxi market up to billions, or potentially even trillions of dollars.

Well, if that’s what you’re waiting for, then I’ve got news for you…

Air Taxi Stocks Take Off on Deals

Air taxi companies are already part of a key Pentagon initiative. And they do indeed have major international markets lined up for a global expansion.

First, let’s talk about the military…

You see, the Pentagon has been a key partner in the development of air taxis. 

The military loves these things because they’re quiet, efficient, and have a smaller heat signature than aircraft with combustion engines, making them harder to detect and target. 

They’re also versatile. They’re already being used to ferry troops and cargo around sprawling military bases. And special forces are training to use them on secret missions.

It’s all part of a secretive program called “Agility Prime.”

The program, which aims to integrate eVTOLs into the military, has been in existence since 2020. 

It’s doing this for all the reasons I just mentioned. The aircraft are stealthier and more efficient than helicopters. And they can be piloted remotely, so you don’t need an air-trained expert to fly one. 

But that’s not all. The role of air taxis in the military continues to evolve with the ultimate goal of deploying them in combat — autonomously. 

That’s right, one air taxi company just partnered with two key military tech suppliers to bring AI, autonomous flight, and even lethality to its eVTOL. 

It’s a major step forward and just the kind of thing President Trump’s new-look Pentagon is going to love. 

Again, that’d be a hugely promising opportunity even if it were just a domestic one — but it’s not. 

Because in addition to Pentagon partnerships air taxi companies are also teaming with overseas partners like Virgin Atlantic, Toyota, and Mukamalah (the aviation subsidiary of Saudi Aramco). 

These partnerships are poised to springboard this technology into the United Kingdom, Asia, and the Middle East. 

Indeed, one of the more limiting factors of the U.S. market is its size. Which is to say, these aircraft may be advanced, but they’re still confined to relatively small areas of operation — roughly 100 miles.

So, while they aren’t ideal for long trips, they’re perfectly suited to make multiple trips in high-density areas. 

We’re talking about places like the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and countries in Asia that have huge populations packed into small areas. Those regions suffer from severe traffic bottlenecks that air taxis can help eliminate.

These regions don’t have America’s sprawling network of roads and highways — or its car culture, either. They’re far more reliant on public transportation, like buses and subways. So air taxis will fit right in.

Just for example, an air taxi could make the trip from England’s Manchester Airport to Leeds in 15 minutes compared with an average of 90 minutes by road. 

And that trip could be made dozens of times throughout the course of a day — either in the United Kingdom or in a place like Japan going from Kyoto to Osaka.

So the bottom line is that you’re going to be hearing a lot about air taxi stocks as they start to take flight in the United States this year. 

But with international markets lined up for expansion and key Pentagon partnerships already in hand, they’re set to soar higher than most investors are anticipating.
