This effort aims to enhance safety standards, improve operational efficiency, and build confidence among investors and operators in the emirate.
H.E.

We continuously seek to support the sector's growth and enhance Dubai's status as a key player in air transport by providing services that adhere to the highest standards and practices.'
He added:“The future of eVTOL aircraft has become a reality with the changes in the aviation industry in recent years.

We see eVTOL as a key part of urban mobility, aligning with the vision of the Dubai government, which focuses on innovation and sustainability to make Dubai a leading smart city.”
