✈️ Air taxis take off in New York Joby Aviation has begun a week-long series of test flights for its electric air taxi in New York City, marking the first point-to-point eVTOL demonstrations in the city. The aircraft flew from JFK Airport to multiple Manhattan heliports, including Downtown Skyport and Midtown locations. Company officials called it a historic moment, noting it’s the first time an eVTOL has operated to and from a major regional airport. The tests are part of an FAA pilot program as the company moves toward regulatory approval. Joby says its air taxis could connect Manhattan to JFK in under 10 minutes — a trip that can take over an hour in traffic.
