Archer Aviation, an electric aircraft startup, plans to introduce air taxis to New York City to significantly reduce airport travel times to just 5 to 15 minutes. In collaboration with United Airlines, the proposed network will connect essential hubs, including major airports and heliports. CEO Adam Goldstein highlighted nine core nodes for the service. However, Archer still needs FAA approval for its eVTOL aircraft, Midnight, and has yet to conduct manned test flights. Goldstein anticipates achieving necessary certifications by 2026, with updates on piloting in upcoming earnings calls.
"We're starting with nine core nodes," Adam Goldstein, co-founder and CEO of Archer, explained, articulating the plans for a comprehensive air taxi network.
"So you have the three big international airports - JFK, La Guardia, Newark - and the three big heliports, including the Downtown Skyport..." Goldstein elaborated.
