UAE adds another flying taxi: US-based firm partners with Abu Dhabi for latest test flight success
Abu Dhabi completes its first successful flying taxi test at Al Bateen Executive Airport, paving the way for commercial launch in early 2026/Image credits: WAM Abu Dhabi has taken a major step toward futuristic transportation by successfully completing the first test flight of a flying taxi at Al Bateen Executive Airport. The flight was conducted by US-based Archer Aviation in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (Adio), marking a milestone ahead of the planned commercial launch of air taxi services in early 2026. According to Omran Malek, Head of Autonomous Mobility and Robotics at Adio, the test flight is the first in a series of structured evaluations aimed at launching not just a flying taxi service, but a full-fledged aviation ecosystem. Speaking to local news outlet Khaleej Times, Omran Malek said, 'We don't just test to test, but test to commercialise. We're not just launching an air taxi service, we're building an ecosystem around us , from pilot training to MROs, to talent development, to manufacturing with Archer Aviation, with the facility in Al Ain.' The project also involves collaborations with universities to develop specialised curricula and short diplomas to prepare a skilled workforce for the sector. Testing Under UAE Conditions The testing phase will continue through the summer months to evaluate how the aircraft performs under Abu Dhabi's hot and dusty climate. 'Then we'll bring this aircraft to fly over the city and move into the commercial phase in early 2026,' Malek said. Dr Talib Alhinai, UAE Manager at Archer Aviation, said that the aircraft used in this phase was not piloted, as the goal is to test environmental readiness. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One plan.

Our initial flight test operations in the UAE are focused specifically on evaluating the aircraft's performance in high temperature, humidity, and dust,' he noted. Roadmap to Commercial Launch and Manufacturing Once testing is complete, Archer plans to launch a small fleet of air taxis in Abu Dhabi. Key priorities for the launch include: Safe commercial operations Fully developed vertiports Airspace integration 'All that is the priority for us to launch in Abu Dhabi,' said Malek. Looking further ahead, the manufacturing of the aircraft is scheduled to begin in Al Ain in 2027, with future exports planned to other interested countries across the region. A New Mode of Daily Travel Contrary to the belief that flying taxis will be exclusive to luxury travellers, Malek said pricing in Abu Dhabi will be designed to be feasible for the general public. 'As we introduce more vertiports and aircraft, that price will scale down so that it can be used on a daily basis,' he said. The announcement comes shortly after a similar successful test flight by Joby Aviation in Dubai, showing strong momentum in the UAE's push to lead urban air mobility in the region. Dubai's First Flying Taxi Test Flight Just this week, Dubai marked a key milestone in urban mobility with the first test flight of a flying taxi developed by Joby Aviation. The test took place at Joby's test facility at the Dubai Jetman Helipad in Margham, located along the Dubai–Al Ain Road. Dubai is now preparing for a commercial rollout by the first half of 2026, aiming to provide residents and visitors a premium air mobility service. The UAE is leading the way in futuristic transportation, with both Abu Dhabi and Dubai successfully conducting test flights for flying taxis. These milestones reflect the country's commitment to redefining urban mobility, with significant investment in advanced technologies. By embracing innovative transport solutions, the UAE is working to become one of the most livable cities in the world, focusing on convenience, sustainability, and efficiency for residents and visitors alike.

Tata Group is in talks to buy out other shareholders in Resurgent Power Ventures Pte, according to people familiar with the matter. ADVERTISEMENT Tata Power Co., which owns a 26% stake in Singapore-based power generation and transmission firm Resurgent through a subsidiary, is working with an adviser to help buy the stakes held by ICICI Venture Funds Management Co., Kuwait Investment Authority and Oman Investment Authority, the people said, asking not to be identified because the talks are confidential. ICICI Venture, KIA and OIA, which hold 74% in Resurgent, are seeking a valuation of about $2.1 billion for the whole company, including debt, the people said. Discussions are ongoing and there's no certainty that an agreement will be reached, they said. Representatives for Tata Power, ICICI Venture and OIA didn't reply to requests seeking comment.

In 2020, SGRF merged with the Oman Investment Fund to form OIA. ADVERTISEMENT (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel)
