Archer is the ‘exclusive air taxi partner’ for the 2028 Olympics in LA.
Archer Aviation has said it plans on launching its first commercial air taxi service in 2026, but it doesn’t expect to be “at scale” until 2028, which lines up well with the next Summer Olympics.
In addition to serving as the exclusive partner for the Olympics and Team USA, Archer will set up “vertiports” at key venues, with its 12-propeller Midnight aircraft providing trips to “VIPs, fans, and athletes,” as well as support for emergency services. Pretty bold plan for a company that has yet to receive all the FAA certifications it will need to operate its eVTOL service!
