Where JOBY is headed

Picture a Friday evening in late 2027. A businesswoman in Manhattan walks from her Midtown office to a rooftop pad on the East Side, climbs into a six-seat electric aircraft, and lands at JFK fourteen minutes later. The flight cost her $90. The same trip by car would have cost her two hours of her life. This is the world Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) is building, and if even half of it arrives on schedule, the company is operating commercial routes in Dubai by late 2026, in New York and LA by 2027, and in Tokyo shortly after through the Delta and ANA partnerships already inked.
