Some rough numbers. Just back of the napkin calculations.
Route Melbourne/Yarra heliport to Airport would possibly the main route. Flight time10 mins. Turnaround-5 mins.
Someone said 5 pax per trip. If 500 pax each way between 6am and 6 pm. That's 100 flights each way over 12 hours.
So including if you include the return flights, that would be more than one drone over your house if you live along the flight path every 4 minutes between 6am and 6 pm. These things will not be quiet. That's a busy air corridor. No idea on the number of drones required to achieve 200 flights a day. Are my figures reasonable?

The sort of clientele that would use this service would be from Asia with big suitcases going to the Casino to gamble.
