The Future of Flight Lands in London: Joby Aviation and Virgin Atlantic Display Electric Air Taxi Beside Tower Bridge
Joby Aviation has announced that it will partner with UK carrier Virgin Atlantic to display a full-scale model of its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) air taxi at Potters Fields Park, adjacent to London's iconic Tower Bridge, from July 10 to 12, 2025.
The event is free and open to the public, giving Londoners the opportunity to see the aircraft up close and learn how electric air taxis could deliver quiet, fast, and zero-emission urban air travel.
Reimagining Urban Mobility
Joby Aviation says its electric air taxi will one day connect major UK city centres with airports in a fraction of the time required by ground transport, dramatically cutting commute times and transforming how people think about getting around cities.
Compared with conventional helicopters, Joby's eVTOL aircraft produces significantly lower noise levels and generates zero carbon emissions — qualities that position it as a key enabler of the next generation of Urban Air Mobility (UAM).
Joby × Virgin Atlantic: A Powerful Partnership
The collaboration between Joby Aviation and Virgin Atlantic represents a deep integration of established aviation expertise with cutting-edge flight technology. Virgin Atlantic has long been associated with innovation in air travel, and its decision to join Joby in promoting the future of flight signals strong commercial confidence in eVTOL adoption across the UK market.
The open-air showcase in the heart of London is more than a brand activation — it is a public statement that the age of the air taxi is fast approaching.
