An air-taxi pod system floats on a lake, river, sea, etc. and has a spoke connected between a base and an air pod. The pod is configured as a landing region for air taxi within larger metropolitan cities. Each of the spoke, base, and pod use a hull section to provide the buoyancy necessary for each of these components to float. In some versions, two or more, such as six spokes sit around a base connected to the base with connections that can withstand heavy storms. An air pod or separately an air-ship pod connect to some of the spokes at second ends of the spokes with a similar connection. The system can also have terminals or terminal buildings to facilitate travel or commuting.
