SANTA CRUZ, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE:JOBY), a company developing air taxis for commercial passenger service, today announced it has flown its all-electric aircraft at the California International Airshow in Salinas, flying in its own backyard following landmark demonstration flights with ANA in Osaka, Japan that are expected to continue through October 13th. From Friday to Sunday, Joby completed three airshow demonstrations for a captivated California audience, including round-trip flights between Marina (OAR) and Salinas (SNS).
These flights demonstrated the reliability of the aircraft and the maturity of its operational capabilities as it approaches FAA type inspection authorization flight testing early next year. Attendees also experienced the aircraft’s remarkable quietness, a key feature for urban operations where noise is a major concern, seeing it fly overhead, exploring it up close, and imagining a new era of quiet, clean, accessible flight.
“We’ve had the privilege of flying in places like Japan and Dubai this year, but seeing our aircraft fly at home on the Central Coast and sharing it with our neighbors was truly special,” said JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO of Joby Aviation. “I’m deeply grateful to our team and to everyone who came out to see us. Experiencing the aircraft up close shows just how quiet it is, and that gives a real sense of the future of flight we’re building.”
Joby has flown over 40,000 miles in urban air mobility demonstrations, showcasing vertical takeoffs and landings that mirror future air taxi operations. After flying around the world, including in Japan, Dubai, South Korea, New York City, and now, Salinas, the Company will continue its community engagement at the Dubai Airshow, November 17–21, 2025, helping build public acceptance as it moves closer to bringing air taxi service to market.
