MARKET INTELLIGENCE
Joby acquired Blade's passenger business (Aug 2025), gaining NYC terminal network including JFK, Newark, Manhattan West Side, East Side, and Wall Street lounges. Dense airspace creates integration challenges but demand signal is enormous. JFK-Manhattan corridor is a natural first eVTOL route.
