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.”
