Delta Invests in, Partners with Air Taxi Startup, Joby
Delta Air Lines, which has watched competitors map future plans with electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft startups, is joining the growing list of airlines looking to make short trips to and from airports faster and easier.
The carrier is investing $60 million in startup Joby Aviation, which is planning to build and operate an electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, or eVTOL, effectively an air taxi.
Delta will also have an exclusive five-year partnership with Joby operating eVTOLs as part of the Delta network.
