The LA Olympics optimistically names an official 'Air Taxi Partner'


Archer has been selected as the official air taxi provider for the 2028 LA Olympic and Paralympic Games.

If everything falls into place (a very big "if"), the company's Midnight eVTOL aircraft will transport VIPs, fans and stakeholders to and from key venues, while also providing support for emergency services and security, Archer wrote in a press release. It just unveiled routes for a potential service in New York City, and previously announced proposed air taxi networks in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago. Midnight is a piloted electric air taxi designed to carry up to four passengers while producing less noise and fewer emissions than a regular helicopter.
