Joby Aviation Inc. is aiming to start commercial services of its battery-powered air taxis in Dubai from late next year, the company’s chief executive officer said Wednesday.
The electric aviation startup is one of several manufacturers of electric vertical takeoff and landing, or eVTOL, aircraft designed to fly customers on short commuter journeys. The company has said previously that it could be ready to begin commercial operations as soon as 2025, though certification by the US Federal Aviation Administration and regulators in other countries is still pending.
