Archer Launches ‘No Roads’ Flight Tour As Part Of Its Participation In White House’s Air Taxi Pilot Program and Preparation for LA28 Games
- Archer’s ‘No Roads’ flight tour will begin in Northern California with a series of city-to-city flights, coming on the heels of more than 70 test flights in August alone and Archer’s recent successful roundtrip flight from Salinas to Monterey.
- Archer is closely coordinating its ‘No Roads’ tour flights with the FAA. Locations are expected to include Monterey, Hollister, San Martin, San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco and around the Los Angeles area, as well as flights in Texas and Florida.
- Goal of the tour is to showcase the advantages electric air taxis will bring: low noise, zero operating emissions, and the ability to skip over traffic—featuring flights on routes that can take an hour or more by car, but just 10–20 minutes in the air.
- The tour is set to advance Archer’s operational readiness for its role as the Official Air Taxi Provider of the LA28 Games and as part of the White House’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).
SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: ACHR) today announced the launch of its ‘No Roads’ flight tour, expanding its city-to-city flight test program across the United States. In close coordination with the FAA, Archer’s flight tour will begin with a series of city-to-city flights in Northern California.

Archer launches its ‘No Roads’ flight tour, expanding its city-to-city flight test program across the United States, starting in Northern California.
The first flight will head to Hollister, with additional flights planned in Monterey, San Martin, San Jose, Oakland, and San Francisco shortly after. The tour follows more than 70 completed test flights in August alone and Midnight’s recent piloted roundtrip journey from Salinas Municipal Airport and Monterey Regional Airport.
These Northern California flights will pave the way for Archer to begin flying Midnight in the Los Angeles area, as well as Texas and Florida — advancing Archer’s operational readiness for its role as the Official Air Taxi Provider of the LA28 Games and as a participant in the White House’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).
Featuring city-to-city routes that can take an hour or more by car, but just 10–20 minutes in Midnight, Archer’s “No Roads” Tour will showcase the benefits air taxis will bring to local communities: low noise, zero operating emissions, and the ability to skip over traffic.
“I’ve talked a lot about the ‘Waymo Moment for air taxis’— the chance for us to get communities more comfortable with this tech. This is the beginning of that story and our biggest step yet toward making air taxis an everyday reality in cities across America. The ‘No Roads’ Tour is how we bring that narrative to life while also preparing for what’s next: flights in multiple states under the White House’s pilot program, and the first Midnight flights in Los Angeles ahead of LA28,” said Adam Goldstein, Founder and CEO of Archer.
On the tour, Archer plans to unveil charging locations across multiple states as part of its ACES (America’s Consortium for Electric Skyways) program with BETA Technologies and Macquarie Capital. The ACES consortium and its interoperable approach are key to expanding the electric aviation infrastructure needed to support the White House’s eIPP and scale air taxi operations nationwide.
Archer’s goal with its Midnight aircraft is to transform urban travel, replacing 60–90 minute commutes with quiet, all-electric flights that dramatically reduce travel times compared to traditional ground transportation. Archer’s all-electric Midnight air taxi is a piloted, four-passenger aircraft designed for rapid back-to-back flights with zero operating emissions.
