Joby, Electra executives tout massive potential market for air taxis

Executives from Joby and Electra are emphasizing the significant opportunity presented by medium-distance trips that could be replaced with air taxi services. Eight companies have been granted permission to legally test air taxis as part of a pilot programme initiated last year. Advanced Air Mobility manufacturers are actively pursuing certification in this rapidly evolving sector. The FAA announced plans for the first certification in March 2026, signaling a key milestone for the industry’s development. These developments suggest substantial growth potential within the emerging market for urban air mobility solutions.
