For a city used to supercars, something even more exotic recently stopped traffic near Dubai Mall. Residents and tourists were given an exclusive, hands-on look at the Joby S4 electric air taxi, the very aircraft slated to take to the skies in early 2026.
Parked in the heart of Downtown Dubai, the sleek, white aircraft served as a tangible reminder that the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) isn't just talking about the future, they are building it. Passers by were invited to sit in the cockpit and explore the four-passenger cabin, turning what used to be a "Jetsons" fantasy into a reality you can touch.
