Joby Applies For Air Operator Certification In UAE

Will Be First Electric Air Taxi Company In Federation

Joby Aviation announced it has applied to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for certification to become its first electric air taxi operation.

JoeBen Bevirt, Joby’s founder and CEO, met with His Excellency Saif Mohammed Al Suwaidi, Director General of the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) at the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) inaugural Advanced Air Mobility Summit in Montreal, Canada, and presented Joby’s Letter of Intent to begin the Air Operator Certificate application process.

Joby has already signed an agreement with Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority to begin air taxi services in the Emirate of Dubai. The company has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Abu Dhabi’s Department of Municipalities and Transport, Department of Economic Development, and its Department of Culture and Tourism to establish and expand electric air taxi services in Abu Dhabi and beyond.

Bevirt said, “There is incredible momentum behind the adoption of clean flight across the UAE, and we’re excited to be working with a wide range of partners, including the GCAA, to lay the groundwork for one of the world’s first electric air taxi networks, delivering fast, clean and quiet journeys using our revolutionary aircraft.”

H.E Saif Al Suwaidi said: “The Letter of Intent for the operator certificate application from Joby Aviation marks a significant milestone in the UAE’s journey towards becoming a global leader in eVTOL operations. Our readiness to support these advanced technologies underscores our commitment to fostering advanced air mobility solutions that will be part of the future of transportation in the UAE and beyond. We are excited to work closely with Joby Aviation to ensure the highest standards of safety and efficiency as we advance towards the realization of commercial EVTOL operations in our skies.”
