The three companies plan to jointly explore the design,
location, operation, and financing of vertiport locations that will
serve as the backbone of future commercial air taxi services in
Japan.
The partners will primarily focus on locations in the
metropolitan areas such as Tokyo, expanding over time to include
numerous urban areas across greater Japan. Joby recently became a
technical advisor to the Tokyo Bay eSG Project, led by NRE and
sponsored by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which will
demonstrate various multi-modal mobility solutions including a
floating landing port in the Tokyo Bay. The partners will also work
with a wide range of local stakeholders to introduce the benefits
of the technology and support community acceptance of air taxi
services.
Joby and ANA HD, Japan’s largest airline group holding company,
first partnered in 2022 to bring electric air taxi services to
Japan. NRE, one of the largest real estate developers in Japan,
joins Joby and ANA HD as they seek to develop air taxi services in
Japan. Both Joby and ANA HD are members of Japan’s Public-Private
Conference for the Future Air Mobility Revolution, established by
the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to accelerate the
adoption of aerial ridesharing in the country.
Also in 2022, Joby announced it had applied for validation of
its Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) type certification,
once received, with the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB). Joby
continues to work closely with regulatory officials from JCAB,
including through ongoing familiarization activities, to prepare
for commercial operations in the country.
Joby’s air taxi can carry a pilot and four passengers at speeds
of up to 200 mph, offering high-speed mobility with a fraction of
the noise produced by helicopters and no in-flight emissions.
