Dubai Makes History: World’s First Commercial Flying Taxi Airport Certified!
The future of urban transportation is officially here! Dubai has achieved a historic milestone as the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) granted full regulatory certification to the world's first purpose-built commercial vertiport, located right next to Dubai International Airport (DXB).

Developed by Skyports Infrastructure in partnership with Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), this flagship facility spanning 3,100 square meters features state-of-the-art eVTOL charging infrastructure and is built to handle up to 170,000 passengers annually. [1, 2
In collaboration with Joby Aviation, the fully electric aerial taxis are set to begin commercial flights by the end of 2026, cutting the traditional 45-minute commute from DXB to Palm Jumeirah down to just 10–12 minutes. [1, 2]
Dubai isn't just preparing for the future—it is actively launching it!
