Sri Lanka announced its approval for Chinese manufacturer EHang to test its pilotless two-seater electric air taxi on Wednesday. The aircraft made a short flight in Colombo, carrying Sri Lanka's Ports and Aviation Minister Anura Karunathilaka and his deputy Janitha Ruwan Kodithuwakku as its first passengers. The country has determined to introduce passenger-drone services and "is now part of that race", according to Kodithuwakku.■
