Binh Dinh’s leadership sees aerial taxis as a unique, modern, and innovative form of transportation that can effectively stimulate tourism demand.
On October 30, Binh Dinh Province’s People’s Committee announced that it had submitted a formal proposal to the Ministry of Transport, requesting a report to the Prime Minister for approval to develop a pilot project for aerial taxi operations within the province.

In the submission, Binh Dinh stated that aerial taxis offer considerable potential, aligning well with the province’s tourism development goals. This initiative aims to establish Binh Dinh as a premier regional destination while realizing comprehensive, rapid, and sustainable tourism growth in line with the Prime Minister’s guidance and the province’s planning strategy for 2021–2030, with a vision towards 2050.
Aerial taxis are small, electrically powered aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing, designed to transport around 4–5 passengers. This is a novel in the form of transportation; Globally, several countries like China, the U.S., Germany, the U.K., Singapore, and South Korea have explored and tested passenger aerial taxis, although Vietnam has yet to introduce this mode of travel.

The Binh Dinh People’s Committee believes that aerial taxis represent an innovative, eco-friendly, and modern form of transport that could significantly drive tourism demand. This method of travel provides easy mobility, saves time, offers competitive pricing, and has lower emissions compared to traditional road and rail transport.
Binh Dinh boasts many famous beaches, such as Quy Nhon, Hai Giang, Trung Luong, and Cat Hai, as well as several offshore islands, including Nhon Chau, Hon Kho, and Yen Island. Aerial taxis could be an ideal mode of transport for tourists to experience and appreciate Binh Dinh’s stunning, pristine landscapes from above.
