These vertiports will be the launchpads for Archer's Midnight aircraft, which can carry four passengers and zip around for quick trips. The first vertiports will be at Falcon Heliport in Dubai and Marina Mall Heliport in Abu Dhabi, cutting down hours-long car rides to just minutes in the air. And get this—they'll be safe, quiet, and won't break the bank.
The plan is to get these vertiports up and running before the big flying car launch in 2025. This will be Archer's first international adventure! Picture yourself soaring above the water, catching glimpses of the city and the sea below.
Archer's CEO, Adam Goldstein, is thrilled about bringing their Midnight aircraft to the UAE, hoping it'll make the country a leader in futuristic air travel. Falcon Aviation's CEO, Captain Ramandeep Oberoi, is no stranger to moving folks around in the sky, boasting nearly two decades of experience.
Nikhil Goel, the bigwig at Archer, is amazed at how quickly things are moving since they announced their plans. But they're not the only ones in the game—Joby Aviation, another US company, is gearing up to launch air taxi services in Dubai by 2026, with a sneak peek in 2025. They've even lined up spots for vertiports across Dubai, from the airport to hotspots like Palm Jumeirah.
Exciting times are ahead for commuting in the UAE—buckle up for a flying adventure!
