Archer Launches Midnight Commercialisation with Abu Dhabi Aviation

News summary

Archer Aviation has launched its 'Launch Edition' program, aimed at deploying its Midnight electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in early adopter markets before receiving full FAA type certification. The first customer for this initiative is Abu Dhabi Aviation (ADA), which plans to introduce a fleet of Midnight aircraft later this year, supported by a comprehensive package from Archer that includes pilots, engineers, and backend software. CEO Adam Goldstein expressed optimism about the program's potential to generate revenue and operational experience, while also building urban air mobility networks. The partnership with ADA includes collaboration with local authorities to ensure integration into existing transport systems. Archer is also focusing on expanding its capabilities, having secured significant funding and partnerships with other entities like NASA and Anduril Industries for technological advancements. This initiative is part of Archer's broader strategy to establish a foothold in the burgeoning urban air mobility market.
