Air taxi as in shuttle service through the air, its basically a short hop to transfer passengers.Air taxi regarding helicopters, is when ground control clears a helicopter after landing on the runway to "jump" right to his parking spot instead of "hover taxiing" along regular taxiways.

I'm an East Coaster, so I'm not familiar with that route, but its more or less a charter operation in a local area.
