An innovative response to pollution and urban congestion
Dubai is a megalopolis where modernity is combined on a grand scale: dizzying skyscrapers, giant shopping malls, ultramodern business parks. But this dazzling growth is accompanied by major challenges, particularly in terms of traffic and air pollution.
With temperatures regularly exceeding 40°C, the intensive use of air conditioning and combustion-powered vehicles is already putting a strain on air quality. Against this backdrop, the electric flying cab makes perfect sense.
- Zero emissions electrically powered, it significantly reduces carbon footprint.
- Considerable time savings No more endless traffic jams on Sheikh Zayed Road.
- Optimum comfort : integrated air-conditioning, silent flight, futuristic design space.
This new technology anticipates the future and offers an environmentally-friendly, high-performance alternative.
Reach your destination quickly in a city in constant motion
Dubai is changing at an impressive pace. Entire neighborhoods are being built in just a few years, business zones are multiplying and tourist hubs are spreading ever further afield.
In this changing environment, speed becomes an essential value. The flying cab offers a unique advantage:
- Link Downtown Dubai to Palm Jumeirah in less than 10 minutes40 minutes by car at peak times.
- Contact the international airport from downtown without traffic constraints.
- Offering businessmen and women smooth routes between strategic areas such as Dubai Marina, DIFC or Business Bay.
This new experience will not simply be a transport service, but a genuine extension of a philosophy that combines exclusivity and efficiency.
Inter-emirate routes: a gateway to Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah
While the flying cab is primarily designed for intra-city journeys, its potential extends far beyond Dubai's borders. As early as 2026, the first connections to neighboring emirates could see the light of day, facilitating regional mobility.
- Sharjah A cultural and academic center just a few minutes away.
- Ajman A fast-growing emirate, ideal for quick business trips.
- Ras Al Khaimah An emerging tourist destination, where nature and luxury come together in harmony.
The business case: connecting Abu Dhabi to Dubai
The route between Dubai and Abu Dhabi alone symbolizes the strategic interest of flying cabs. Today, it takes between 1h30 and 2h to drive between the two economic capitals of the Emirates.
With a flying cab, this same journey will be reduced to about 30 minutes. For decision-makers, investors and entrepreneurs, this time-saving represents a revolution.
- An appointment in Abu Dhabi in the morning, return to Dubai for a business lunch: now possible without constraints.
- A better work-life balance thanks to fluid mobility.
- This strengthens the appeal of both cities, consolidating their role as international hubs.
Estimated travel costs: an affordable luxury
Current projections point to a clear pricing model:
- Intra-city travel in Dubai between 300 and 350 dirhams (≈70 à 80 €).
- Journey Dubai - Abu Dhabi between 800 and 1,500 dirhams (≈180 à 350 €).
These rates, though premium, remain affordable for travelers looking for comfort, speed and exclusivity. By way of comparison, a classic transfer in a top-of-the-range limousine today costs a similar amount, but without the advantages of air travel.
