London, November 20, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –– Joby Aviation, Inc. announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Red Sea Global (RSG) and The Helicopter Company (THC) that include plans for Joby to complete pre-commercial evaluation flights of its electric air taxi in the Kingdom in the first half of 2026.
Under the agreement, Joby will work together with RSG, the developer behind regenerative tourism destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA, and THC, a Public Investment Fund (PIF) company and Saudi Arabia’s premier commercial helicopter operator, to establish a “sandbox” for pre-commercial operations. The sandbox will serve as a base for the evaluation of potential air taxi operations in the region with Joby conducting representative flights with charging, airspace integration and ground communications, similar to the flights Joby completed in UAE earlier this year. The new partnership comes on the heels of Joby’s announcement last week that it would collaborate with the General Authority of Civil Aviation to support the development of the Kingdom’s air taxi regulatory framework, using Federal Aviation Administration certification standards as a foundation.
