Dubai successfully tests 1st aerial taxi

Travel from Dubai airport to Palm Jumeirah in 12 minutes

Imagine getting from Dubai International Airport to Palm Jumeirah in just 12 minutes instead of the usual 45 by car. That's what these air taxis promise.
The plan is to launch commercial flights in 2026, with special "vertiports" popping up around the city for quick takeoffs and landings.

Joby's air taxi isn't just fast—it can smoothly switch from vertical lift-off to regular flight mid-air (pretty cool engineering).

The first commercial vertiport is set to open near the airport by 2026, making flying cars feel a lot less sci-fi in Dubai.
