Joby Aviation

In the UAE, local test flights have validated performance under regional conditions, including recent operations in Margham and at Al Maktoum International Airport

Joby signed a contract with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority that awarded the company exclusive rights to operate aerial taxis in the city for the next six years

The aerial taxi can carry four passengers along with a pilot, delivering reliable and comfortable air travel with vertical take-off and landing capabilities

The flight also provided valuable developmental data on the human factors of operating the aircraft at a controlled airport

The aerial taxi is powered by electricity, generates zero operating emissions, and has been engineered to operate at significantly lower noise levels

The facility is the first of four vertical ports that Skyports is developing in partnership with the Roads and Transport Authority and Joby Aviation
