Archer Aviation CEO Details 2025 Air Taxi Launch and Partnership with United Airlines
In an interview, Archer Aviation CEO Adam Goldstein outlined the company's strategy to launch its electric air taxi service by 2025. The company is developing its "Midnight" eVTOL aircraft to replace lengthy car commutes with 10-20 minute flights in major U.S. cities. Backed by a significant partnership and order from United Airlines, Archer is currently navigating the final phases of FAA certification. Goldstein highlighted initial routes planned for New York and Chicago, aiming for a service that is cost-competitive with ground-based ridesharing. The push represents a critical step forward in the intensifying race for urban air mobility.
