Flying Taxis in Dubai by the end of 2025. Sci-fi reality is here.

Soooo... I just came across this new information while putting together another video that I will be sharing after this one. Interesting. The sci-fi reality is here folks. I have mixed emotions about this.

So what do you think about this that's going to become a reality in Dubai by the end of 2025. Now think about the "drone" technology flying in our skies across America witnesses say are the size of an SUV.

I stitched 3 short related videos together, customized this background, added background music.

Time Out, 11/12/24: Everything you need to know about the Dubai flying taxis

You’ll soon be able to take a 10-minute low-cost flight between some of Dubai’s busiest landmarks.

The traffic-busting Dubai flying taxis are expected to arrive in the city at the end of next year with flights taking off from four key points of the city initially.

A collaboration between the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority, JOBY Aviation and Skyports Infrastructure, the air taxi is set to transform public transport as we know it.

Along with aircraft tests, once completed it will see Dubai become the first city in the world to have inner-city air transport.

On Tuesday September 17, the RTA confirmed via the Emirates News Agency that the first of four vertiports will be operational in the first quarter of 2026.

And on Tuesday November 12, it was confirmed that the first vertiport is being built at Dubai International Airport (DXB).
Vertiports will allow the Dubai flying taxis to take off and land without the need for a runway.
But how much will it cost to use? Where will it fly to? And will you still get to scroll through TikTok in the back seat? All this and more will be answered below.

So, where will the Dubai flying taxi fly to?

It has been confirmed that the first four vertiports (which allow taxis to take off and land vertically) will be placed at Dubai International Airport, Dubai Downtown, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah.

The first of these four will start operating in early 2026, the RTA confirmed on Tuesday September 18.
