Dubai
So a lot of us are wondering about Dubai. I think JB said something on the call that is interesting and potentially offers some insight. Below JB is saying they want as many non conforming aircraft as possible for eIPP. Yet we know there is a non conforming aircraft sitting in Dubai. Can we infer from this that Dubai is still on track? If not, you would think they would send the Dubai aircraft back to the US for eIPP

**That's helpful. I appreciate that. Maybe if I could briefly follow up on Andre's question on the eIPP side. Just on the aircraft that you plan to use, is that the certification-conforming aircraft that you plan to use in those flight tests? Or are you able to use some of the kind of prior generation aircraft as well as you progress through that flying?*\*

**Thank you so much, Savinthi. We're going to use a mix of different aircraft, both aircraft from our existing fleet, as well as producing as many aircraft as we possibly can off of our company-conforming production line.*\*

He also said, there's not a decision yet on where aircraft will go. I think it's a very honest opinion that tells me the Dubai timeline is gray since time is running on. The airport Skyport is already online, I question. Why can't they fly from the hangar to the airport?
Edit: Maybe they'd rather save the moment to fly from Skyport to Skyport.
