# "By end of 2026 and commercial operations in 2027. That timeline is ambitious. It is also, for the first time, credible" (DEPLOY verdict: Open)

- **DEPLOY verdict:** Open
- **Claim type:** Timeline
- **Claimed:** 2026-01-01
- **Implied deadline:** 2027-12-31
- **Claimed by:** [Joby Aviation](/companies/joby-aviation.md)

## How DEPLOY assessed this

Third-party assessment. "Ambitious but credible" is a more honest framing than Joby's own "as early as 2026." The 2027 commercial operations target is more realistic given certification timelines.
