Joby signs a deal to launch air taxi service in Dubai by 2026.
Joby’s agreement with Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority gives the startup exclusivity to run its electric air tax services for six years. Part of the deal with Dubai includes a contract with Skyports to design, build, and operate four “vertiports” for vertical takeoffs and landings.
Joby recently performed a few exhibition flights in Manhattan (shown below) and plans to start flying commercial passengers in cities like New York and Los Angeles in 2025.
