Abstract

We propose a single-provider model for on-demand air taxi services. Data from a discrete-event model support a “flow model,” which describes the aggregate flow of passengers and aircraft for an air taxi service provider without specifying event-level operation. Using a set of hypothetical scenarios for air taxi network operation, we evaluate the accuracy of the flow model against the outputs of the discrete-event model. Finally, we illustrate how the flow model can be applied towards the optimal pricing of passenger fares for a single air taxi service provider.
