MIDDLE EAST: FlyNow Arabia announces further investment for its electric air mobility operations in Saudia Arabia

Fly­Now Ara­bia Ltd. has secured strate­gic invest­ments from Den VC, as well as from the Al-Mohaidab, Reslan, and Mehchi fam­i­ly offices from Sau­di Ara­bia and across the MENA region.

In a press release issued today (Mon­day), the fund­ing will enable Fly­Now Ara­bia to fast-track the local­iza­tion of its elec­tric air mobil­i­ty oper­a­tions in the King­dom.

Over the com­ing year, the com­pa­ny will estab­lish a reg­u­la­to­ry sand­box for test­ing in Sau­di Ara­bia and begin set­ting up local man­u­fac­tur­ing infra­struc­ture for the Fly­Now eCopter — a next-gen­er­a­tion mod­u­lar eVTOL designed for both air taxi and car­go logis­tics.

Yvonne Win­ter, CEO of Fly­Now Ara­bia Ltd., said: “This is a major mile­stone for us that marks the begin­ning of an excit­ing new chap­ter. We are tru­ly hon­ored by how warm­ly the King­dom of Sau­di Ara­bia wel­comes our com­pa­ny and sup­ports our mis­sion to cre­ate the sus­tain­able mobil­i­ty of the future.

“This part­ner­ship is not only a val­i­da­tion of our vision, but also a clear align­ment with the ambi­tions of Sau­di Vision 2030. Togeth­er, with the sup­port of our investors and the Sau­di gov­ern­ment, we are proud to build a new era of clean, qui­et, and afford­able 3D mobil­i­ty — made in the King­dom.”

The Fly­Now eCopter, which includes car­go and pas­sen­ger vari­ants, is ful­ly elec­tric, ultra-light­weight, and offers indus­try-lead­ing effi­cien­cy with oper­at­ing costs com­pa­ra­ble to a taxi ride.

The air­craft flies below 55 dB(A), qui­eter than a house­hold dish­wash­er, and is designed for auto­mat­ed flight using proven autopi­lot tech­nol­o­gy, enabling faster cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and smoother reg­u­la­to­ry adop­tion.

In addi­tion to its core mod­els, Fly­Now is also devel­op­ing spe­cial­ized con­fig­u­ra­tions for fire­fight­ing and mede­vac use cas­es, extend­ing the impact of 3D mobil­i­ty into crit­i­cal pub­lic ser­vice appli­ca­tions where speed, safe­ty, and pre­ci­sion are essen­tial.

The fund­ing sup­ports Fly­Now Arabia’s mis­sion to con­tribute direct­ly to sev­er­al key pil­lars of Vision 2030, includ­ing logis­tics inno­va­tion, sus­tain­able indus­tri­al­iza­tion, smart mobil­i­ty, and region­al job cre­ation. Man­u­fac­tur­ing will be ful­ly local­ized, sup­port­ed by strate­gic indus­tri­al part­ner­ships in the King­dom.

Waleed Khalil, Man­ag­ing Part­ner at Den VC, added: “Fly­Now rep­re­sents the future of avi­a­tion and mobil­i­ty. It’s an ambi­tious plat­form built to meet tomorrow’s chal­lenges, ful­ly aligned with reg­u­la­tion and the aspi­ra­tions of Vision 2030, and we are hap­py to be part of this jour­ney.”
