Initially, ADP and Volocopter wanted to trial passenger flights from the river over the summer, taking advantage of the global attention paid to the Olympic Games. "We retain the hope of flying these machines over the Seine before the reopening of Notre Dame (Cathedral)", he said. This switch in tone comes after the project met with hostility from Paris city officials from both sides of the political divide.
