Joby and Virgin Atlantic have teamed up to introduce an eco-friendly, emissions-free electric air taxi service, for airport passengers in the UK.

Joby Aviation, a California-based company developing electric air taxis, announced its collaboration with Virgin Atlantic to launch its cutting-edge air taxi service in the UK.

Expanding on Joby’s existing partnership with Delta Air Lines, which owns 49% of Virgin Atlantic, this agreement unites brands focused on innovation, customer experience, and redefining air travel.

The goal is to provide fast, zero-emission trips across the UK, starting with connections from Virgin Atlantic’s hubs at Heathrow and Manchester Airport. Virgin Atlantic will support Joby’s UK launch by marketing the service, working with regulators, and helping develop landing infrastructure at key locations.

Joby’s electric air taxis, designed to carry a pilot and four passengers at speeds up to 200 mph, will be available for booking through Virgin Atlantic’s app, website, and other channels.
