Archer’s Midnight Completes City-to-City Flights in California Ahead of White House’s eIPP

ACHR
  • On July 30th, Archer's all-electric Midnight aircraft completed a piloted roundtrip journey between Salinas Municipal Airport & Monterey Regional Airport.
  • Each leg of the flight took approximately 9 minutes, significantly reducing travel time compared to the 35+ minutes required by car.
  • The mission was conducted in close coordination with the FAA as a major step toward launching operations later this year under the White House's eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).
  • Archer is preparing for commercial operations in Los Angeles ahead of its role as the Official Air Taxi Provider for the LA28 Olympic Games.
  • The company is collaborating with federal, state, & municipal governments to establish procedures, infrastructure, & operational capabilities in eIPP partner states including Texas, Florida, & New York.
  • The Midnight aircraft is designed to replace 60-90 minute ground trips with quiet, all-electric flights to avoid traffic congestion.
