Overview
- The Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission named Archer the exclusive Air Taxi Partner, designating the company an Official Los Angeles World Cup 2026 Host City Supporter and an Official Super Bowl LXI Host Committee Partner.
- Archer will participate in LASEC leadership groups and coordinate with local officials, businesses, and residents as it introduces its Midnight eVTOL program.
- Coverage indicates no commitment to passenger or demonstration flights during the 2026 events, positioning the partnership as groundwork toward future services, including efforts tied to the 2028 Olympics.
- Archer’s Midnight remains in crewed testing without FAA type inspection authorization, with the company targeting that milestone later this year and independent forecasts pointing to potential entry into service around mid-2028.
- Planning envisions potential vertiports linked to SoFi Stadium with the Los Angeles Rams and a prospective network touching multiple area airports, with Archer describing LA services as arriving in the coming years.
