Joby Aviation, a pioneer in eVTOL technology, has been at the forefront of developing all-electric air taxis designed to provide fast, quiet, and zero-emission urban transport. The partnership with Jetex will facilitate the integration of these aircraft into established private aviation networks, catering to high-net-worth individuals and business travelers looking for rapid, sustainable mobility solutions.

The Middle East is emerging as a key market for advanced air mobility (AAM), with governments and private enterprises investing in next-generation aviation technologies. The Jetex-Joby partnership aligns with regional sustainability goals by promoting electric aviation as a viable alternative to conventional short-haul flights.

Adel Mardini, Founder & CEO of Jetex, emphasized the importance of innovation in private aviation, stating, “This partnership with Joby Aviation represents a significant step toward transforming air travel in the region. By integrating eVTOL technology into our network, we are providing our customers with a seamless, efficient, and environmentally friendly mode of transport.”

Joby’s eVTOL aircraft, capable of speeds up to 200 mph and a range of 150 miles on a single charge, is expected to significantly enhance mobility options within and between major metropolitan areas. The collaboration also signals a shift towards electric aviation becoming a mainstream option for urban travelers, further establishing the Middle East as a hub for pioneering aviation advancements.

With infrastructure development already underway, Jetex and Joby plan to launch initial eVTOL services within the next few years, setting a new standard for sustainable and convenient private air travel in the region.
