Joby Aviation, a pioneering electric flying taxi company, is in talks to potentially acquire Blade Air Mobility, a helicopter operator. The negotiations are ongoing, and there remains a possibility that Joby may decide not to proceed with the deal. Blade currently operates a network of helicopter routes primarily connecting New York City with its surrounding areas. Should the acquisition be finalized, Joby would gain entry into a well-established aviation travel market. With a market value of $13.59 billion, Joby aims to launch its commercial flight services in early 2026.
