Manufacturers of futuristic aircraft, such as electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxis, are flocking to the United Arab Emirates.
The manufacturer in December made the world’s first commercial eVTOL demonstration flight in China and has obtained type, production, and airworthiness approvals.
The Hong Kong-based firm is developing an aircraft-agnostic platform for on-demand, zero-emission trips.
The manufacturer will collaborate with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office and the Emirate’s Department of Municipalities and Transportation.
Both companies are working with Abu Dhabi government agencies to build ecosystems in the city for their respective aircraft.
