Joby Aviation secures UAE air operator certificate for electric air taxi launch in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Joby Aviation is set to launch an electric air taxi network in the UAE, focusing on Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The company has secured an air operator certificate from the UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority, following a similar certification in the U.S. Its air taxis can carry a pilot and four passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph, drastically reducing travel time from Dubai International Airport to Palm Jumeirah from 45 minutes to just 10 minutes. Production of eVTOL components will begin in Dayton next year.
