The two companies will focus initially on Jetex locations across
the Middle East, where Joby plans to install its Global Electric
Aviation Charging System (GEACS), to support Joby operations that
will connect Jetex passengers to a network of vertiports, offering
efficient and sustainable travel across the region and between
Emirates.
“At Jetex, sustainability is a key focus of our strategy, and
our partnership with Joby represents an important step forward in
achieving our vision of greener skies,” says Adel Mardini, Founder
& CEO of Jetex. “We are committed to driving innovation that
reduces our industry’s environmental impact, and integrating Joby’s
electric air taxis into our network allows us to deliver cleaner,
quieter, and more sustainable travel experiences, starting in the
UAE.”
Jetex’s VIP Terminals, including flagship locations at Al
Maktoum International Airport in Dubai and Al Bateen Executive
Airport in Abu Dhabi, provide seamless access to key financial,
tourist, and entertainment destinations within the UAE. With a
strong commitment to sustainability, Jetex integrates renewable
energy solutions and innovative practices to reduce its carbon

agreement with Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority, granting Joby
the exclusive right to operate air taxis in Dubai for six years.
Joby recently announced that Skyports, Joby’s launch infrastructure
partner in Dubai, has begun construction of the first vertiport in
Joby’s planned Dubai air taxi network, located at Dubai
International Airport.
In Abu Dhabi, Joby has signed a multilateral agreement with the
Department of Municipalities and Transport - Abu Dhabi (DMT), the
Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (DED) and the
Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) that
lays the groundwork for Joby to establish and scale air taxi
services in the Emirate and unlocks the potential for inter-emirate
services.
Joby recently announced it has applied to become the first
certificated air taxi operator in the United Arab Emirates. As part
of the process to attain an Air Operator Certificate from the UAE’s
General Civil Aviation Authority, Joby will demonstrate the
readiness of its aircraft as well as its training, maintenance,
operations and safety programs for commercial air transport.
Joby’s aircraft is designed to transport a pilot and up to four
passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph (321 km/h), offering
high-speed mobility with a fraction of the noise produced by
helicopters and zero operating emissions.
