Joby’s NYC eVTOL demo targets ride-share–style pricing

Joby Aviation completed point‑to‑point electric air taxi demonstrations in New York, flying from JFK to Midtown heliports in under 10 minutes as part of a week‑long public campaign. The company says the service could link vertiports, airports, and communities across the NYC metro area, with a price point aimed to be competitive with ground transportation over time. Officials hailed the tests as a milestone for advanced air mobility, while the aircraft are designed for zero emissions and lower noise than helicopters.
