Joby Establishes a ‘Presence’ in UK to Explore eVTOL Business
Joby Aviation is “establishing a presence” in the UK to explore offering the company’s electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) transportation service in that country.
“We’re establishing a presence in the UK to support our work with [aviation regulators], and joining [trade organisation ADS] to help support the successful launch of fast, clean and convenient air taxi services across the UK,” the company writes on Twitter on 3 March.
Joby also says it has spent the past year working with the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) “to facilitate a path to validating our type certificate”, and with air traffic control company NATS “to explore the integration of Joby services into the UK airspace”.
“The UK has long been a global leader in aviation, and we share the government’s vision of a sustainable future for aviation with the introduction of electric and hydrogen aircraft,” Joby says. “We look forward to sharing more about our ambitions for the UK market in due course.”
