Saudi Arabia Signs Deal to Launch Flying Cars and Air Taxis
Sep 23, 2025

Saudi Arabia is stepping into the future of transportation. In a groundbreaking move, Front End Limited Company and Cluster 2 Airports have partnered with EHang, a Chinese leader in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) technology. This agreement marks the beginning of air taxis and flying cars in the Kingdom — a vision that aligns perfectly with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.


What the Agreement Covers

The deal is more than just a headline — it includes:

  • Introduction of eVTOL air taxis for passenger and cargo transport.
  • Pilot trials and testing to ensure safety and efficiency.
  •  Exploration of local manufacturing opportunities within Saudi Arabia.
  •  Development of a regulatory framework for integrating flying cars into Saudi airspace.

Why It Matters

This development isn’t just about luxury — it has real impact:

  1. Faster Urban Travel
    Air taxis can significantly reduce commute times in congested cities like Riyadh and Jeddah.
  2. Boost to Tourism
    Tourists may soon enjoy futuristic aerial rides over landmarks and attractions.
  3. Green and Sustainable
    Since eVTOLs are electric, they support the Kingdom’s efforts to cut carbon emissions and promote renewable energy.
  4. Global Leadership
    By adopting flying cars early, Saudi Arabia positions itself as a pioneer in future mobility solutions.

The Road Ahead

The project will first go through regulatory approvals and trial phases. If successful, commercial operations could begin in the coming years — making flying cars a normal sight in Saudi skies by the early 2030s.


Conclusion

From smart cities like NEOM to futuristic air mobility, Saudi Arabia is not just preparing for the future — it’s creating it. This deal with EHang shows the Kingdom’s determination to lead in innovation, sustainability, and advanced mobility solutions under Vision 2030.
