UK-based flying taxi startup Skyports Ltd. is planning to begin trials for ship-to-shore drone deliveries in Singapore over the next year as it seeks to commercialize its service.

Skyports, which operates infrastructure for flying taxis and other urban air mobility devices, signed an initial agreement with Singapore’s state-backed operator Jurong Port Pte on Friday to study the feasibility of the service, it said in a statement.
