**Summary:** Joby Aviation and Air Space Intelligence are partnering to integrate AI-driven airspace management into U.S. electric air taxi operations. They will use ASI’s Flyways AI platform to model high-density eVTOL traffic before commercial flights commence. As Joby approaches FAA type certification and the White House’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Programme advances, the readiness of the skies for widespread electric air taxis is under scrutiny. The collaboration aims to accelerate the integration of advanced air mobility into the U.S. National Airspace System, utilizing ASI’s AI-powered platform. Live operational exercises are expected by the end of 2026. ASI, backed by significant investment, provides AI solutions for conventional aviation, offering predictive analytics for air traffic management. Joby contributes extensive operational experience and institutional relationships, advancing electric air taxi operations. The partnership aligns with ongoing developments in the FAA’s Brand New Air Traffic Control System and addresses the regulatory needs for AI and aviation safety. The initiative sets a foundation for integrating eVTOL operations into the national framework.
