The Coruscant airspeeder, also known as air speeders or simply speeders, was an independent repulsorlift airspeeder commonly found on Core Worlds, such as Coruscant, during the last decades of the Galactic Republic. The speeder had a dome-like transparisteel canopy and a sleek, gray hull. One such speeder was parked at the Senate Apartment Complex of 500 Republica when Anakin Skywalker "borrowed" a XJ-6 airspeeder from the speeder dock to pursue the assassin Zam Wesell.

On extremely urban planets such as Coruscant, airspeeders were controlled by skylanes to allow them to maneuver between the dense streams of traffic and skyscrapers. They were used to ferry their passengers from one destination to another and were the most common airspeeders to be found in Coruscant’s skylanes. Being allowed “free travel”, these air taxis were able to leave the auto-navigating skylanes in order to take the most direct means to their destination.
