Flying Taxis to Begin Trials in Al Ain by May 2025
Story by UAEMoments team • 13h • 2 min read
Flying taxis are set to take off in the UAE, with trials scheduled to begin in Al Ain by May 2025. Falcon Aviation Services, an Abu Dhabi-based company, plans to launch commercial air taxi services by January 1, 2026, according to CEO Ramandeep Oberoi.
Vertiports Planned in Key Locations
Falcon Aviation partnered with Archer Aviation, a US-based electric flying car manufacturer, in March 2024 to create cutting-edge vertiports. These facilities will be located at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai, and Marina Mall heliport on Abu Dhabi’s Corniche.
The first passenger flights will use Archer’s Midnight flying taxis, traveling between these vertiports. The 30-minute journeys will take passengers over scenic water routes, offering breathtaking views of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Future Plans for Connectivity
Initial operations will focus on routes within Abu Dhabi, with plans to connect Abu Dhabi and Dubai by mid-2026. Future expansions aim to link Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, catering to major destinations like the Wynn Resort project, and eventually include Al Ain.
"We’re building the market gradually,” said Oberoi, emphasizing the UAE’s strong road infrastructure as a complementary network.
Affordable Airfare Goals
Falcon Aviation aims to make flying taxis accessible, targeting fares of around Dh1,000 per passenger for Abu Dhabi-Dubai trips—about twice the cost of a regular taxi. Within cities, the goal is Dh300. However, Oberoi noted that these figures are still under negotiation and may change.
Slow and Steady Hiring Approach
The company is taking a measured approach to recruitment, relying on existing staff and bringing in specialized personnel from the US. Additional hires will include ground operations and engineering teams to manage vertiports and maintain the vehicles.

Abu Dhabi to launch commercial electric air taxis
Story by GlobalData • 9Dec24 • 10:00
Archer Aviation has announced a multiparty collaboration with key United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Abu Dhabi entities to advance the establishment of commercial electric vertical-take-off and landing (eVTOL) air taxi services in the UAE capital.
Abu Dhabi is claimed to become the first city in the Middle East and North Africa to launch these types of services.
The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), a principal signatory, will coordinate with various domestic bodies to prepare for the scheme's commercial launch.
The ecosystem for eVTOL development includes Abu Dhabi Airports, Falcon Aviation Services, Etihad Aviation Training, the UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority, Global Air Navigation Services, Global Aerospace Logistics, and the Integrated Transport Centre.
The collaboration delineates the roles and responsibilities of each party, setting the stage for definitive agreements between Archer and the commercial stakeholders.
This partnership builds upon a previous agreement with the ADIO to expedite the commercialisation of air taxis in the region.
ADIO director general Badr Al-Olama said: “We are pleased to see leading members of Abu Dhabi’s aviation sector collaborating with Archer to support the launch of air taxis in the emirate. This partnership marks a major milestone in the efforts led by Abu Dhabi’s Smart and Autonomous Systems Council to accelerate smart and advanced mobility solutions, further solidifying the emirate’s position as a global leader in smart and autonomous vehicles.”
Abu Dhabi Airports managing director and CEO Elena Sorlini added: “We are proud to support this pioneering collaboration, marking a significant step towards sustainable urban mobility in Abu Dhabi. This partnership reinforces our commitment to innovation and positions the emirate as a global leader in next-gen transportation, ensuring seamless connectivity for future passengers.”
In May this year, Archer Aviation launched its battery pack manufacturing site, the first of two facilities set to be completed in 2024.
"Abu Dhabi to launch commercial electric air taxis" was originally created and published by Airport Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.
