Joby Aviation and Virgin launch an air taxi service in the United Kingdom.
March 17 2025
Joby Aviation, a California-based company specializing in the development of electric air taxis, has announced a collaboration with Virgin Atlantic to launch a revolutionary zero-emission air transport service in the United Kingdom. This partnership aims to offer fast and sustainable travel, improving connectivity for Virgin Atlantic customers traveling to and from key airports such as Heathrow and Manchester.
The agreement builds on a previous collaboration between Joby and Delta Air Lines—which owns 49% of Virgin Atlantic—to launch similar services in the United States and the United Kingdom. Virgin Atlantic will support Joby’s efforts in the British market by promoting the service to its customers, collaborating with regulators, and promoting the development of landing infrastructure at key airports.
Joby’s electric air taxi is designed to carry a pilot and up to four passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph (approximately 322 km/h). Virgin Atlantic customers will be able to book seats on Joby aircraft through the airline’s app, website, and other channels.
