Dubai set to have world’s first air taxi

Dubai is set to have the world’s first air taxi, as agreements have been inked at the World Government Summit 2024. The development is set to revolutionize urban transportation. The agreements pave the way for the induction of Joby Aviation S4, an aircraft designed to comfortably accommodate four passengers along with a pilot.

This aerial vehicle will help Dubai to pioneer the deployment of a city-wide electric aerial taxi service and vertiport network. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, these vehicles aim to seamlessly integrate into Dubai’s urban landscape that will offer swift and eco-friendly transportation solutions. The air taxi network will commence its operations from 2026, marking a significant milestone in Dubai’s quest to redefine urban mobility.
