The take-off and landing point in Zhongshan is situated at the Skyline International Plaza, and the flight from Shenzhen to Zhongshan takes about 25 minutes.

According to its official WeChat applet "Air Taxi (空中的士出行)", the project offers flights between Zhongshan's Skyline International Plaza and Shenzhen North Railway Station. One to six passengers can be carried each flight, with a total fare of 39,800 yuan.

To take the flight, children need to be at least three years old, and those aged under 12 need to be accompanied by adults.
