No.
energy requirements will always be higher vs surface transit
mechanical complexity will increase mechanical failures. these mechanical failures are much more likely to lead to death or severe injury or extensive damage.
you think self driving is bad now? It’s not. Planes can largely fly themselves, but that’s not the hard part. It’s the everything else, including maintaining safe patterns and separation. If everyone jumped to air travel in a city congestion just moves into the air, and you’ll have shit loads of accidents. Throw in improperly maintained air craft because that shit is expensive and you have a recipe for 9/11-level accidents on a daily basis.
Mass transit is the way to go.

Do you have any idea of public transport in lndia ?
