Originally Volocopter wanted to fly passengers during the Olympics in Paris with its new roomy VoloCity from a Vertiport at the airfield Pontoise to a platform in the Seine river in Paris. But as the certification with EASA of the VoloCity is still not finished and also there was some political issues in the Paris City Government. So in the end they did flew with a repainted old Volocopter V2x with the German ultralight registration from a Vertiport at Aerodrome of Saint-Cyr-l’École. Dirk Hoke from Volocopter and Edward Arkwright from the ADP group who ownes the Paris airports still celebrates this flight as „ValidationeVTOL Operations in Paris.
