Overview
- Archer announced a plan to connect Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach with 10–20 minute electric flights using its piloted, four-passenger Midnight aircraft.
- Infrastructure partners include Related Ross, Magic City Innovation District, Hard Rock Stadium, and Apogee Golf Club to retrofit existing helipads and develop vertiports.
- Planned nodes span Miami International, Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood, and Palm Beach International, with potential links to nearby general aviation airports via Atlantic and Signature FBO terminals equipped with Beta chargers.
- The company provided no start date, and U.S. commercial service remains contingent on FAA certification and further testing despite previously stated network ambitions.
- A day earlier, Archer signed an agreement with Karem Aircraft for military-grade rotor and tiltrotor technology, complementing defense work with partners such as Anduril and recent IP acquisitions from Overair and Lilium.
