Likee Partners with EHang to Showcase Emerging Air Mobility Potential

Likee, one of the most popular short-video platforms in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has partnered with EHang, a leading Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV) technology platform company, to showcase the incredible practices of “flying taxis”.

The collaboration will consist of EHang setting up its official account on Likee where it will post breathtaking videos of passenger-grade flight demos and aerial media light shows from around the world whilst sharing one of the most cutting-edge technologies of urban air mobility.

EHang and its AAVs have been generating a significant amount of interest both in the GCC and across the MENA region. The company has carried out successful fully autonomous trial flights Qatar and UAE, with its flight demo footprint scattering in 11 countries worldwide.

Likee users have an interest in cutting-edge and emerging technologies. The concept of drones and flying taxis is also quite intriguing and relatable to many.

Gibson Yuen, Head of Likee Global Operations said: “Cutting-edge technology is one of the most popular verticals on Likee and we are glad to have EHang with us to share their efforts in upgrading future transportation.
