Joby Aviation Inc. (Santa Cruz, Calif., U.S.) has signed a lease for 45,000 square feet at Alliance Air Trade Center in Haslet, part of Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport in Texas. Located within Hillwood’s 27,000-acre AllianceTexas development, the leased space marks the first significant North Texas presence by an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft manufacturer and strengthens the region’s growing role in advanced air mobility (AAM).
“This site gives us a base to demonstrate the value of air mobility services across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the state,” notes Greg Bowles, Joby Aviation’s chief policy officer. “Texas is showing strong leadership in AAM, thanks to partners like Hillwood, TxDOT and NCTCOG, and we look forward to working with them to bring that vision to life as we begin flights under the eIPP program.”
Perot Field is an industrial airport purpose-built for cargo and corporate aviation and serves as the aviation cornerstone of AllianceTexas. The airport is also a central component of the AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone, a public-private ecosystem that brings together industry innovators, policymakers and infrastructure partners to advance technologies across air and surface mobility.
