Joby delivers first aircraft to Dubai as air taxi service nears launch
Briefly

Joby Aviation has made a significant progress in the air taxi industry by delivering its first production eVTOL aircraft to Dubai. Anticipating the launch of commercial operations in early 2026, Joby has already begun in-market testing. This milestone marks a crucial step for both Joby and the air taxi sector, which has largely relied on promises while facing long safety testing processes. Dubai has provided Joby with regulatory and financial support through an exclusive operating agreement, preparing the region to become a hub for advanced air mobility.
Dubai is aiming to become a launchpad for advanced air mobility, granting Joby a six-year exclusive operating agreement last year.
Joby, which has been developing the technology to power its multi-rotor aircraft since 2009, says it has begun in-market testing ahead of the anticipated launch.
