Profile notes

• Joby's stated goal of commercial service in 2025 passed before certification was complete

  reviewed 2026-07-19 - In October 2023, founder JoeBen Bevirt said Joby's goal remained to achieve commercial service in 2025 and said that timing was doable. The year passed while the aircraft remained in certification and test activity, so the statement is a missed company goal rather than a completed launch or a formal contractual commitment.
