"The German air taxi startup Volocopter actually wanted to offer a commercial service during the Olympic Games in Paris. However, the ambitious plan failed for various reasons. Instead, a Volocopter took off for a demonstration flight near Paris" as 2024 Olympics draws to close."
"...due to protests, Volocopter had to switch to this airfield on the outskirts of the French capital, which is around 25 kilometres from the city centre."
