ANA, Toyota Back Joby’s eVTOL Rideshare Plans
Japanese airline ANA will work with Joby Aviation to establish ridesharing flights in the latter company’s four-passenger eVTOLs in Japan. Under an agreement announced yesterday, carmaker Toyota—an investor in Joby—is also involved in the partnership, providing expertise for plans to integrate the air taxi services with ground transportation. ANA and Joby will focus on infrastructure development, pilot training, flight operations, air traffic management, public acceptance, and regulatory requirements.
All three partners are already contributing to the Japanese government’s Public-Private Conference for the Future of Air Mobility Revolution, which was organized by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Investment and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism. The government is supporting efforts to launch commercial eVTOL flights during the 2025 World Expo to be held in Osaka at the heart of the Keihanshin metropolitan area.
One of the proposed ridesharing routes would take travelers from Osaka’s central rail station to the Kansai International Airport, which is 31 miles away on a manmade island in Osaka Bay. According to Joby, its all-electric eVTOL, which is expected to enter service in 2024, could make the journey in 14 minutes versus an hour by car.
