Joby Aviation will integrate Blade’s air mobility service into the Uber app from 2026, linking airports and cities with quiet, zero-emission electric aircraft.
The partnership will explore introducing up to 200 electric aircraft to the Kingdom, revolutionizing urban mobility, and supporting Vision 2030 goals.
Working alongside Skyports and the Dubai Road and Transport Authority, the company is targeting a 2025 launch date.
The comprehensive agreement with Abu Dhabi’s government includes a training program, infrastructure development, and a manufacturing presence.
The agreement grants Joby exclusive rights to operate a fleet of air taxis in Dubai for six years, with operations beginning as soon as 2025.
