Flying Cars to Launch in UAE by 2027 at $799,000 Each

People can experience the first commercial flying car named PAL-V Liberty when it arrives in UAE during early 2027 as a dual-use vehicle with airborne capabilities. At $799,000 consumers can buy this dual-mode vehicle which operates as a car and gyronaut to solve city traffic issues in Dubai.

After a 12-year certification period Dutch company PAL-V secured last approvals from aviation authorities IATA EASA and the FAA. Production of the PAL-V Liberty at the Dutch facilities will start in 2025 and the company will start fleet demonstration flights over Dubai and the UAE territory during late 2026. The delivery process of PAL-V products will initiate across Europe but the UAE market will receive them through Jetex’s regional partnership.

Two occupants can fit in the PAL-V Liberty while its minimal takeoff requirements of 200-by-30-metre space enable easy use in urban environments. This vehicle consists of desert-friendly elements that address the challenging conditions of the UAE desert which persuaded the company to choose this location as its Middle East launch point.

The vehicle demands from its owners dual certification with driving license and private pilot license. The training program offered by PAL-V consists of six weeks which provides both theoretical guidance and practical flight instruction to serve busy potential owners. The company plans to launch multiple flight schools throughout Italy and the UAE because the market requires additional training facilities.

The Chief Commercial Officer of PAL-V Marco van den Bosch states the Liberty’s operating costs stand at a tenth of helicopter rates with capability to execute 90 percent of missions primarily meant for helicopters. Most high-net-worth individuals represent the primary early buyers of the vehicle even though governments maintain ownership of some units for operational needs.

Modern urban transportation problems are expected to transform through the introduction of flying vehicles. The transportation company PAL-V considers a standard Dubai route across north-south directions
