Description: Joby's eVTOL air taxi made its Dubai Airshow debut as the company works to implement service in the region.

Rival eVTOL aircraft developers Joby and Archer are racing to establish their plans for air taxi services in the UAE. The U.S. companies are both getting support from local regulators to establish early use cases in Dubai and Abu Dhabi while they are still working on FAA type certification for their respective four-passenger vehicles. One of Joby’s test aircraft flew at the Dubai Airshow, while Archer exhibited a mockup. On November 9, 2025 Joby conducted what it said was the first point-to-point eVTOL flight in the UAE when it landed its aircraft at Al Maktoum International Airport after a 17-minute flight from its test base at Margham.
