Joby Aviation’s 2024 Impact Report Reveals Soaring Progress

Joby Aviation: Soaring Towards a Sustainable Future

The way people move is changing. As cities worldwide grapple with congestion and the urgent need for sustainable solutions, Joby Aviation is at the forefront, building a future of faster, cleaner, and more enjoyable travel. Joby's vision isn't just about making flight more accessible; it's about redefining it to be genuinely clean and whisper-quiet.

This commitment goes beyond technological innovation, extending to the planet, people, and communities served. Joby’s recently unveiled 2024 Impact Report showcases progress across critical areas: Safety, Environment, People & Community, and Corporate Governance. These aren't just statistics; they are proof points of Joby's growing global impact.

Safety: The Foundation for Global Operations

Safety is paramount in an era where trust in new technologies is crucial. In 2024, despite an 11% increase in its workforce, Joby significantly reduced employee incidents, achieving a 34% reduction in its Total Incident Rate (TRIR) and a 45% decrease in its Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rate.

Beyond the factory, Joby aircraft completed hundreds of rigorous flight tests, making headlines from South Korea to Japan and conducting critical demonstrations at Edwards Air Force Base. Achieving Stage 2 IS-BAO Certification in its Part 135 Air Operations further underscores Joby's dedication to exceeding global aviation safety standards, preparing for a future where Joby aircraft become a common sight in skylines worldwide.

Environment: Leading Zero-Emission Flight

The world demands sustainable solutions, and aviation is responding. Joby is leading the charge, boosting its renewable electricity procurement by an impressive 19% in 2024, even while dramatically ramping up manufacturing capacity.

Joby also championed circularity, recycling nearly 50,000 pounds of manufacturing waste. A groundbreaking 561-mile hydrogen-electric flight demonstrated the potential for truly zero-emission regional travel, connecting communities without a carbon footprint. On a modeled flight in the bustling Los Angeles region, Joby’s electric aircraft is projected to use 37% less energy per passenger trip than a gas-powered car, a blueprint for a sustainable transportation ecosystem.

People & Community: Cultivating a Diverse Workforce

Joby's impact extends beyond the aircraft. As it grew to over 2,000 employees worldwide, Joby actively cultivated the diverse talent needed for this revolutionary industry. An expanded apprenticeship program trained 64 local community members in advanced manufacturing, creating high-skill jobs. The FAA-certified pilot training academy is shaping the next generation of aviators.

Globally, Joby is inspiring and educating communities, engaging over 6,500 students at STEM events. Strategic partnerships across the U.S. and high-visibility events in New York, Los Angeles, and the UAE have shown the world what urban air mobility truly means.

Corporate Governance: Guiding the Journey

Strong leadership is essential for navigating this exciting future. Joby’s robust corporate governance framework ensures strategic oversight, transparency, and accountability. The addition of Michael Thompson, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Reinvent Capital, to the experienced board strengthens strategic decision-making.

Joby isn't just engineering an aircraft; it’s cultivating a future where innovation and sustainability converge to transform daily life. The journey has begun, and the 2024 Impact Report marks another powerful step toward a better, cleaner, and more connected tomorrow for everyone.
