Joby Air Taxi to Transform Urban Mobility in Dubai

Good news! Magic, flying carpets of the famous One Thousand and One Nights are becoming reality in the Middle East! 😊

"Summary
  • Joby Aviation is realizing Uber’s original “Elevate” dream, moving electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft from science fiction toward commercial reality.
  • By 2026, Joby aims to inaugurate the world’s first integrated air taxi network—in Dubai—leveraging aggressive local infrastructure investment to bypass Western bureaucratic hurdles.
  • The plan includes “vertiports” at strategic hubs like Dubai International Airport, creating the essential physical and digital ecosystem required for reliable point-to-point urban flight.
  • While facing a cautious FAA in the U.S., Joby will use its Dubai operations to bridge the gap between experimental testing and full-scale passenger operations.
