US Air Taxi Start-up Joby in Successful Flight Testing in Dubai
- Joby Aviation began piloted test flights of its all-electric eVTOL air taxis in Dubai in mid-2025, marking a key step toward commercial operations.
- This progress follows Joby's 2023 agreement with Dubai granting exclusive aerial taxi rights for six years and construction of vertiports since November 2024.
- The flights demonstrate readiness under challenging conditions like Dubai's high temperatures and support planned launches at four vertiports, including Dubai International Airport.
- Joby's eVTOL aircraft can reach speeds of up to 200 mph and cover distances of 150 miles on a single battery load, operating with noise levels vastly lower than traditional planes. Its lithium-ion battery packs, designed for at least 10,000 flights, power six electric motors.
- These developments position Joby to begin commercial air taxi service in Dubai by early 2026 and advance its goal to scale operations globally, especially in the US market.
