Dubai is making strides towards revolutionising urban mobility with the construction of its first air taxi station near Dubai International Airport. Announced by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, this project is part of a larger plan to create an advanced aerial transport network in the city.

The First Step in a New Era of Transport

The station, covering 3,100 square metres, is designed to handle up to 42,000 landings and 170,000 passengers annually. Scheduled to open in 2026, it marks the beginning of a futuristic service that will include four key locations: Dubai International Airport, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and Palm Jumeirah.

Making Dubai a Global Leader in Aerial Mobility

The new air taxi service will significantly reduce travel times in the city, cutting down the trip from Dubai International Airport to Palm Jumeirah to just 10-12 minutes, compared to the current 45-minute drive during peak hours. This initiative is part of Dubai’s broader commitment to innovation, sustainability, and ease of travel.

Advanced Aerial Taxi Technology

The Joby S4 aerial taxi, which will operate on this network, is an eco-friendly, electric vehicle with vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The aircraft can carry up to four passengers and a pilot, reaching speeds of up to 321 km/h with zero emissions. It is designed to be quieter than traditional helicopters and offers a smooth, fast, and safe travel experience.

A Collaborative Effort for Seamless Integration

This project is a collaboration between several leading international companies. Joby Aviation will handle aircraft manufacturing and operations, while Skyports Infrastructure will manage the construction of the vertiports. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will oversee governance and integration with other transport systems in Dubai. The air taxi network is set to transform the way people move around the city, providing a sustainable solution to growing traffic congestion.

As Dubai continues to shape the future of global mobility, this air taxi service is just one step in its ambitious journey towards becoming a global leader in urban transportation innovation.
