Air-taxi maker Joby Aviation said on Tuesday it had applied for a certificate that will allow it to operate commercial air transport in the United Arab Emirates.
U.S.-based Joby will develop air taxi operating manuals, undergo inspections of its UAE-based facilities, and complete observation of pilot and aircraft mechanic training as well as flight operations by UAE's civil aviation authority as part of the process.
Joby Aviation is a California-based transportation company developing an all-electric, vertical take-off and landing air taxi which it intends to operate as part of a fast, quiet, and convenient service in cities around the world.
