Joby Aviation and Jetex have announced a strategic partnership to redefine seamless connectivity for Jetex customers.
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,” said 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 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 footprint.
“Jetex’s exceptional operational standards and commitment to sustainability make them an ideal partner as we work to redefine urban air mobility,” says JoeBen Bevirt, Founder and CEO of Joby Aviation. “With their strategically positioned terminals and focus on delivering unparalleled customer experiences, this collaboration is a significant milestone in advancing sustainable air travel in the region.”
Joby’s planned service in Dubai is part of a definitive 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 Depart 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).
