Jetex, a global leader in executive aviation, and Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY), a developer of electric air taxis for commercial passenger transport, announce a strategic partnership to redefine seamless connectivity for Jetex customers.

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.

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.
