Flying taxis are already a reality in Spain. Electric take-off and landing vehicles or EVTOL have reached the Balearic Islands. NextNorth is responsible for this innovation that will allow islands to connect with the peninsula quickly and, of course, connect the different islands with each other.
EVTOL is a new generation of aircraft that can take off and land vertically, like a helicopter, but it works with electric motors instead of fossil fuels. These vehicles have the advantage of being quieter, cleaner and cheaper than traditional helicopters, making them ideal for urban and tourist operations.
NextNorth’s goal is to provide a high-quality and fully personalised transport service for island residents and visitors, which will result in a unique and exclusive travel experience. With this in mind, it will not be a cheap trip as such and, in fact, prices are not designed for all pockets.
What has been seen is that the journey will be EUR 3,550 and offering five seats, meaning that each trip will have a price of EUR 710. However, it is expected that in a few months more routes will be offered in different taxi modes with which the price expected to be paid for this service can be reduced.

In fact, what was said is that the journey within Ibiza has a price of 95 euros per seat. That, yes, will have to be expected in order to enjoy it, since, as we have seen, for now prices are quite prohibitive for general users. The company hopes to democratize these types of flying taxis flights.
Reservations can be made from the official website or from the application, in trying to do so we found that there was only one day available to fly this month and it is Friday 19. The seats offered are exactly five for a price of 3,900 dollars, which is 3,550 euros to the exchange already mentioned.
You can book both a seat and all available, making the experience much more private. For the time being, we will have to wait until 25 June this year to see this operation in full operation and making flights of 4 minutes as promised on your website.
