SK Telecom forms partnerships for flying car development

Seoul: SK Telecom, South Korea’s top wireless carrier, said Thursday it has joined hands with local defence company Hanwha Systems Co., Korea Airports Corp. and the Korea Transport Institute to speed up the development of urban air mobility (UAM) services.

Last year, South Korea unveiled its plan to commercialize UAM services by 2025 to help overcome urban traffic congestion by using unmanned drone taxis.

SK Telecom said they will work together to develop the infrastructure and aircraft required for UAM services.
