Abu Dhabi has successfully completed a public test flight of a driverless air taxi. The flight was conducted with the support of the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, in collaboration with Chinese company EHang and Multi Level Group (MLG).
Taking to the skies was the EHang EH216-S — a two-seater eVTOL equipped with 16 propellers and 32 electric motors. It's the world’s first certified pilotless passenger aircraft.
The test covered real-world conditions — including Abu Dhabi’s hot climate, airspace coordination, route planning, and vertiport infrastructure. The flight was monitored by the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority, which confirmed the vehicle met all regulatory and operational standards for future rollout.
