Air taxis and electric delivery planes

The Ministry of Transport has announced plans to test electric air taxis and electric delivery planes in early 2025 as part of its ongoing efforts to develop and operate an integrated mobility ecosystem in Qatar. The Ministry has sought all necessary approvals and coordination with relevant Qatari authorities to proceed with these test runs. This initiative aims to enhance Qatar's transportation sector by introducing air mobility, leveraging the latest global technologies and artificial intelligence (AI). This will improve the integration, coherence, sustainability, and eco-friendliness of the public transit system.

These efforts align with the goals of the Third Qatar National Development Strategy (NDS3), which emphasizes the use of advanced technologies and aims to achieve sustainable development and economic diversification. By adopting these innovations, Qatar seeks to solidify its leading position in global transportation and fulfill the objectives of the Qatar National Vision 2030.
