Did eVTOL air taxis fly for World Cup 2026?

No — not in Miami. The tournament (June 11 – July 19, 2026) concluded without commercial passenger eVTOL service in this market, exactly as projected. Miami remains on target for Late 2026— helicopter charter carried the tournament's premium air traffic and remains bookable. Pre-reserve below to get the eVTOL alert the moment operator inventory opens.
