AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nArcher Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) today revealed plans for three air taxi networks serving Austin, Dallas\u2013Fort Worth and Houston with the goal of increasing connectivity between major airports, business districts, and coastal destinations in the fastest growing megaregion in the United States.<\/p>\nThis press release features multimedia.

<\/div>\n\nThe Texas Triangle is home to more than 20 million people and several of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country. Commuters in Houston, Dallas\u2013Fort Worth and Austin lose days each year sitting in traffic, with congestion costing the state billions in lost time, productivity, and infrastructure costs.<\/p>\n
\nArcher’s planned air taxi networks in the state are designed to give Texans an option to skip over traffic on its all-electric Midnight air taxi, turning 60\u201390 minute drives to major airports, business districts and major destinations into 10\u201320 minute flights.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cTexas is setting the bar for America\u2019s leadership in the next generation of aviation,\u201d said Adam Goldstein, Founder and CEO of Archer Aviation. \u201cOur planned networks will make the benefits of electric air taxis real for Texans \u2014 trading hours in traffic for minutes in the air, while connecting the biggest airports, business districts and sporting hubs in ways that America\u2019s largest megaregion needs to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n
DALLAS\u2013FORT WORTH<\/b><\/p>\n
\nArcher’s planned network in Dallas\u2013Fort Worth will connect major airports including Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, Dallas Love Field, Addison Airport, Arlington Municipal Airport, Fort Worth Meacham International Airport and Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport with major business hubs like Frisco Station. The 242-acre mixed-use development surrounds The Star, the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 world headquarters, and features Class AA office space, residential communities, hotels and a growing Health and Wellness district.<\/p>\n
HOUSTON<\/b><\/p>\n
\nIn Houston, home to some of the nation’s worst congestion, Archer\u2019s planned air taxi network will link the city’s major airports like George Bush Intercontinental Airport, William P. Hobby Airport, and Sugar Land Regional Airport, with the Thompson Hotel Helipad downtown and Galveston, turning the hour-plus drive from the city’s core to the coast into a short flight.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe race to dominate next-generation aviation is moving faster than ever. Archer Aviation is a prime example of American innovation, demonstrating that the United States has what it takes to be the global standard,\u201d said Senator Ted Cruz. \u201cThese three planned networks will not only allow Texans to reclaim their time but also strengthen American leadership in the skies.\u201d<\/p>\n
AUSTIN<\/b><\/p>\n
\nAustin\u2019s planned network will connect the city’s major airports like Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Austin Executive Airport with the F1 Circuit Helipad at the Circuit of The Americas – making F1 Grand Prix races minutes away for Texans and visitors.<\/p>\n
\nToday\u2019s announcement comes on the heels of Archer completing the Northern California leg of its \u2018No Roads\u2019 flight tour which included multiple flights over the San Francisco Bay<\/a>. Flying into seven cities over a three day period, Archer gave people across the Bay Area a chance to see the benefits all-electric air taxis can bring to their communities: low noise, zero operating emissions, and the ability to skip over crowded highways.<\/p>\n
\nThese flights demonstrated Midnight\u2019s ability to seamlessly integrate into complex urban airspace much like the skies above Houston, Dallas and Austin. Archer plans to fly in Los Angeles next in preparation for LA28 ahead of planned operations in Texas under the White House\u2019s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP). To give Texans an up close look at the new technology, Archer will display its Midnight aircraft at the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix from October 22\u201325.<\/p>\n
America\u2019s Consortium for Electric Skyways<\/a> (ACES), launched by Archer, BETA and Macquarie Capital to electrify up to 250 air taxi sites across America, is working with the Texas Department of Transportation and state and local partners to expand interoperable charging infrastructure across Texas at key locations like airports, FBOs and other points of interest to support operations under the White House\u2019s eIPP. Archer\u2019s planned networks aim to set the region up for air taxi flights across the Texas Triangle as part of the Texas eIPP program.<\/p>\n
\nArcher\u2019s goal with its Midnight aircraft is to transform urban travel, replacing long commutes with quiet, all-electric flights that dramatically reduce travel times compared to traditional ground transportation. Archer\u2019s all-electric Midnight air taxi is designed around the urban air mobility use case with the ability to conduct rapid back-to-back flights with zero operating emissions.<\/p>\n
