🚁 Dubai Set to Launch the World’s First Commercial Air Taxi Service by 2026
Dubai is taking transportation to the skies. By 2026, the city aims to become the world’s first commercial air taxi hub, leading a new era of urban mobility.
The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft will connect key areas like Downtown, Dubai Marina, and the airports, reducing travel times from hours to minutes. The air taxis can fly up to 160 km on a single charge with speeds reaching 320 km/h all while producing zero emissions.
Authorities have already completed successful crewed test flights, and infrastructure is being built across the city, including dedicated skyports and multi-level hubs for passengers.
This ambitious project reflects Dubai’s vision to become a global leader in smart, sustainable transportation reshaping how people move and redefining city travel.
