His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, “may God protect him,” witnessed the signing of the agreement to launch the air taxi service in Dubai in 2026, as part of the activities of the World Government Summit, making Dubai the first city in the world to provide commercial air transport service. The urban electric air taxi operates through an advanced vertical take-off and landing network.

Dubai will thus become the first city in the world to provide air taxi service. The first phase of its operation includes four sites: a site near Dubai International Airport, a site in the city center (Downtown area), a site in Dubai Marina, and a site on Palm Jumeirah.
The service will shorten the journey time from Dubai International Airport to Palm Jumeirah to approximately 10 minutes, compared to approximately 45 minutes by car.

It is noteworthy that the agreement was signed between the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority with the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA), the British company Skyports Infrastructure to develop advanced air transport infrastructure, and the American Joby Aviation Company. Joby Aviation specializes in developing air taxis.
