Joby Aviation, a company building electric air taxis for future passenger service, announced it is doubling production capacity at its Marina, California site.

The facility of Joby Aviation Inc. now covers about 435,500 square feet and will support Joby’s plans to scale up manufacturing.

The company is also ramping up operations at its newly renovated site in Dayton, Ohio, where it will build and test aircraft components. Both sites are key to Joby’s efforts to grow production efficiently, following Toyota’s proven manufacturing methods.

Joby recently added a sixth aircraft to its fleet, which received airworthiness certification just one week after completion — a sign of its accelerating production timeline.

Eric Allison, Chief Product Officer, said:

“Reimagining urban mobility takes speed, scale, and precision manufacturing. Our expanded manufacturing footprint in both California and Ohio is preparing us to do just that. We celebrated the opening of the new facility with the flight of our sixth aircraft, which earned airworthiness certification within a week of completion.”
