Electric aircraft described as "sky taxis" could fly from Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) when it reopens, the airport has said.
The lightweight vehicles, which travel at up to 150mph (240km/h), can carry about five passengers and are said to be part of the airport's proposed growth strategy.
Airport director Christian Foster said DSA was discussing the potential move with "a number of providers" and wanted to do something a "little bit different and unique".
The reopening of DSA was given the go-ahead by South Yorkshire's regional mayor Oliver Coppard and council leaders in September.
Funding of £193m has been earmarked for the plan to get the airport up and running again, with the first passenger flights likely to be in summer 2028.
