Dubai's leadership, including Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, witnessed the signing of a landmark agreement to establish an air taxi service by 2026.
The initiative positions Dubai as the first city globally to implement a commercial, city-wide electric aerial taxi service and vertiport network.
The project's goal is to revolutionize urban transport through advanced air mobility, featuring four vertiport locations across the city.
A unique partnership has been formed involving governmental entities, an aircraft manufacturer and operator, and a vertiport owner and operator.
The air taxi service is a strategic move to reinforce Dubai's status as a pioneer in sustainable air travel and aligns with RTA's vision to adopt cutting-edge transportation solutions for the benefit of the city's inhabitants and tourists.
