Joby and Air Space Intelligence Partner to Prepare U.S. Airspace for Scaled Electric Flight

Key Terms

advanced air mobility technical

Advanced air mobility involves the development and use of new types of aircraft, such as electric or hybrid vehicles, to transport people and goods through the air more efficiently and safely. It aims to improve urban transportation, reduce traffic congestion, and open up new markets for aerial services. For investors, it represents a growing industry with potential for technological innovation and future economic impact.

eVTOL technical

eVTOL stands for "electric vertical takeoff and landing" aircraft, which are small, electric-powered vehicles capable of taking off and landing vertically like a helicopter. They are designed to provide quick, on-demand transportation within cities or between locations, potentially transforming urban mobility. For investors, eVTOLs represent a growing segment of innovative transportation technology with potential for significant market impact and future growth.

national airspace system technical

The national airspace system is the combined network of airports, air traffic control services, flight routes, navigation aids, and rules that govern how aircraft move across a country — like a nation’s road network and traffic lights but for planes. Investors care because its capacity, safety standards, modernization, and regulatory changes directly affect airlines, cargo operators, airport revenues and supply chains, influencing travel demand, operating costs and profitability.

flyways ai platform technical

Flyways AI Platform is an artificial intelligence software system that ingests movement and routing data—such as flights, shipments, vehicle or asset tracking—and turns it into forecasts, route optimizations and real‑time alerts for operators. For investors, it matters because better routing and timing act like a smarter GPS for a business: they can lower fuel and labor costs, cut delays, improve service or capacity, and surface operational risks that affect revenue and margins.

air traffic management technical

Air traffic management is the system of services, procedures and technologies that keep aircraft moving safely and efficiently through airports and airspace, acting like a traffic controller or orchestra conductor for planes. For investors it matters because how well air traffic is managed affects airline on-time performance, fuel and staffing costs, airport capacity and safety — all of which influence revenues, operating expenses, regulatory risk and demand for related technology and infrastructure.

autonomous flight operations technical

Autonomous flight operations are aircraft flights controlled by onboard computers and sensors that perform navigation, takeoff, landing and other tasks with little or no real‑time human pilot input—think of a self‑driving car for the sky. Investors care because this technology can cut labor and operating costs, open new commercial markets (like delivery drones or pilotless air taxis), and shift regulatory and safety risk, all of which affect future revenue, capital needs and liability exposure.

Partnership combines Joby’s electric air taxi with ASI’s Flyways AI platform to enable scaled electric flight operations in the National Airspace System

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY), a company developing all-electric aircraft for commercial passenger service, and Air Space Intelligence (ASI), a leading U.S.-based aerospace and defense software company, today announced a partnership to accelerate the integration of advanced air mobility (AAM) into the U.S. National Airspace System.

Building on ASI's Flyways AI Platform – an open AI-powered airspace intelligence platform that uses high-fidelity 4D modeling to optimize flight operations – Joby and ASI plan to work together to advance how scaled eVTOL operations can be safely integrated into dynamic, increasingly complex and high-traffic airspace. Joint demonstrations, including live operational exercises, are expected later this year.

With the FAA's Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) set to form the foundation for the next generation of air traffic management, the partnership will also explore how more automated, software-defined approaches to airspace coordination can enable increasingly autonomous flight operations.

"America has long set the global standard for aviation, and modernizing our airspace is key to maintaining that leadership," said Greg Bowles, Chief Policy Officer, Joby Aviation. "By combining Joby's operational capabilities with ASI's advanced AI-driven Flyways platform, we're helping build the intelligent infrastructure needed to integrate electric air taxis seamlessly into the NAS — one of America's most important national assets."

"Scaling advanced air mobility requires more than new aircraft — it requires a new operating system for the airspace," said Bernard Asare, President, Civil Aviation, Air Space Intelligence. "Our Flyways AI platform gives operators and controllers the predictive awareness to coordinate high-density operations proactively, not reactively. This partnership brings that same capability to eVTOL operations from day one."

Together, the companies will leverage Joby's operational experience and aircraft capabilities alongside ASI's AI-driven airspace intelligence to develop joint solutions that demonstrate how eVTOL operations can scale safely within the existing airspace framework. Initial results from the partnership's live operational exercises are expected by the end of 2026.

Last month, Joby completed a series of piloted demonstration flights across the San Francisco Bay Area, showcasing the company's operational readiness. Joby was also recently selected as a partner in multiple winning applications under the White House-backed eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP). Through the program, Joby has the opportunity to begin early operations this year in 12 states, marking a major milestone for the U.S. air taxi industry and potentially accelerating Joby's path to commercial service.

ASI is leading operational transformation and delivering mission-critical decision-making systems to aviation, defense, logistics, and energy organizations operating in dynamic, complex environments. The partnership with Joby extends ASI's proven airspace intelligence capabilities to the emerging eVTOL sector, helping ensure that as electric flight operations grow, the airspace system is ready to support them safely and efficiently.
