Jetex and Joby partner to advance Sustainable Air Mobility

Dubai, Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jetex, a global leader in executive aviation, and Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY), a developer of electric air taxis for commercial passenger transport, announce a strategic partnership to redefine seamless connectivity for Jetex customers.

The two companies will focus initially on Jetex locations across the Middle East, where Joby plans to install its Global Electric Aviation Charging System (GEACS), to support Joby operations that will connect Jetex passengers to a network of vertiports, offering efficient and sustainable travel across the region and between Emirates.

“At Jetex, sustainability is a key focus of our strategy, and our partnership with Joby represents an important step forward in achieving our vision of greener skies,” says Adel Mardini, Founder & CEO of Jetex. “We are committed to driving innovation that reduces our industry’s environmental impact, and integrating Joby’s electric air taxis into our network allows us to deliver cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable travel experiences, starting in the UAE.”

Jetex’s VIP Terminals, including flagship locations at Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai and Al Bateen Executive Airport in Abu Dhabi, provide seamless access to key financial, tourist, and entertainment destinations within the UAE. With a strong commitment to sustainability, Jetex integrates renewable energy solutions and innovative practices to reduce its carbon footprint. The partnership with Joby highlights Jetex’s ongoing efforts to drive eco–conscious advancements in private aviation. 

“Jetex’s exceptional operational standards and commitment to sustainability make them an ideal partner as we work to redefine urban air mobility,” says JoeBen Bevirt, Founder and CEO of Joby Aviation. “With their strategically positioned terminals and focus on delivering unparalleled customer experiences, this collaboration is a significant milestone in advancing sustainable air travel in the region.” 

Joby’s planned service in Dubai is part of a definitive agreement with Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority, granting Joby the exclusive right to operate air taxis in Dubai for six years. Joby recently announced that Skyports, Joby’s launch infrastructure partner in Dubai, has begun construction of the first vertiport in Joby’s planned Dubai air taxi network, located at Dubai International Airport. 

In Abu Dhabi, Joby has signed a multilateral agreement with the Department of Municipalities and Transport – Abu Dhabi (DMT), the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (DED) and the Depart of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) that lays the groundwork for Joby to establish and scale air taxi services in the Emirate and unlocks the potential for inter–emirate services. 

Joby recently announced it has applied to become the first certificated air taxi operator in the United Arab Emirates. As part of the process to attain an Air Operator Certificate from the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority, Joby will demonstrate the readiness of its aircraft as well as its training, maintenance, operations and safety programs for commercial air transport. 

Joby’s aircraft is designed to transport a pilot and up to four passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph (321 km/h), offering high–speed mobility with a fraction of the noise produced by helicopters and zero operating emissions.

Jetex announced as the exclusive operator of Red Sea International Airport's Private Jet Terminal

Riyadh, Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind regenerative tourism destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA, has celebrated a landmark aviation agreement. The new partnership will see Jetex operate the private aviation terminal at Red Sea International Airport (RSI).

The collaboration was formalized through an agreement between Jetex and daa International (daai), the operator of RSI, marking a new chapter in exceptional luxury aviation experience on Saudi Arabia’s western coast.

“With RSI, we were determined to create an airport that seamlessly blends beautiful design, exceptional experiences and a commitment to honoring nature. Soon, every passenger transiting through our airport will experience this firsthand. With Jetex onboard, guests using our private aviation terminal will also experience elevated levels of service that reflects the very best of The Red Sea destination,” said John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global

RSI’s main terminal, set to open fully next year, is designed with five independent ‘mini terminals’ arranged as a series of pods. One of these ‘mini terminals’, is reserved for private aviation and will be operated exclusively by Jetex. 

Dubai–based Jetex was selected as the fixed base operator of RSI following a competitive tender process. This is Jetex’s first significant venture into the Saudi market and the agreement will see Jetex first fit–out the private aviation terminal. Jetex’s service offering will cover all aspects of private jet handling including managing the private terminal, aircraft turnarounds, concierge services and luxury electric airport transfers in line with the destination’s sustainability priorities.

Adel Mardini, Founder & CEO of Jetex, said: “Jetex is excited to embark on its first major venture in Saudi Arabia through the innovative Red Sea International Airport, a pioneering project in sustainable tourism. In collaboration with both daa International and Red Sea Global, we aim to transform the airport into a top–tier destination that resonates with the most discerning international and domestic travelers.”

With a global reputation for excellence in executive aviation, Jetex brings unparalleled expertise in private terminal operations, aircraft fueling, and ground handling to The Red Sea destination.

Michael White, Chief Commercial Officer of RSI, said: “By partnering with Jetex, we reaffirm our service promise to the world. Together, we will pioneer new global standards in private aviation, consistent with the unparalleled service quality of The Red Sea destination. We look forward to welcoming guests to the private aviation terminal and showcasing its unique design and service.”

Last year, The Red Sea welcomed its first guests, with four of its hotels now open and Desert Rock expecting its first guests later this month. RSI has been receiving a regular schedule of domestic flights since September 2023 and international flights began in April 2024, with a twice–weekly route between The Red Sea and Dubai International. The airport is strategically located, situated within three hours flying time of 250 million people and eight hours flying time for 85% of the world’s population.
