Archer (NYSE: ACHR) and Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) signed an agreement to develop a regulatory pathway for eVTOL electric air taxi deployment in the Kingdom on December 10, 2025. GACA plans to model its framework on the U.S. FAA ruleset and the eVTOL Implementation Pilot Program (eIPP) to enable early operations in Riyadh, Jeddah and giga-projects such as Red Sea Global.
The parties intend to run proof-of-concept demonstrations and experimental flights, support infrastructure development, and promote public acceptance as part of steps toward type certification and scaling Advanced Air Mobility in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
Archer (NYSE: ACHR) announced completion of the first phase of transactions to acquire control of Hawthorne Airport, including the master lease from the City of Hawthorne and associated subleases, giving Archer control of the airport real estate.
The airport sits on an 80‑acre site with approximately 190,000 sq ft of terminal, office and hangar facilities, and is located less than three miles from LAX. Archer expects the site to serve as its operational hub for a planned L.A. air taxi network and to play a role in the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games. Archer describes the airport as a currently profitable enterprise and plans a second‑phase acquisition next year to buy the FBO and passenger terminal for full operational control.
Archer (NYSE: ACHR) announced plans on December 3, 2025 for a Miami metropolitan air taxi network linking Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach with 10–20 minute electric flights aimed at reducing ground travel times.
Archer said it will work with infrastructure partners including Related Ross and Dragon Global’s Magic City Innovation District to develop vertiports and ready existing helipads. Hard Rock Stadium and Apogee Golf Club are named sites to be readied for electric operations. Archer’s piloted Midnight aircraft is described as a four-passenger, low-noise eVTOL intended for rapid, back-to-back trips with minimal charge time.
Archer (NYSE: ACHR) announced an exclusive collaboration with Karem Aircraft to integrate Karem’s military-grade rotor and tiltrotor technologies into Archer’s next‑generation autonomous, hybrid‑propulsion VTOL aircraft.
The alliance gives Archer exclusive access to Army‑validated tiltrotor tech and, together with recently acquired IP from Overair and Lilium plus a prior powertrain supply agreement with Anduril and EDGE Group, aims to accelerate development of a dual‑use aircraft with improved speed, range, payload and low thermal and acoustic signatures for contested environments.
Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on November 19, 2025 at the Dubai Airshow with The Helicopter Company (THC/PIF) and Red Sea Global (RSG) to test Archer’s Midnight eVTOL in Saudi Arabia.
The partners will create a controlled sandbox framework involving the KSA government and GACA to conduct real‑world test flights, assess aircraft performance, operational feasibility, regulatory alignment, and passenger acceptance. RSG will lead sandbox testing using its controlled airspace and infrastructure. After sandbox completion, the parties will review results and consider further steps toward large‑scale eVTOL introduction aligned with Vision 2030.
Archer (NYSE: ACHR) will supply its proprietary dual‑use electric powertrain—currently used on its Midnight eVTOL—to third parties, beginning with Anduril and EDGE Group for the Omen Autonomous Air Vehicle.
The UAE committed to an initial acquisition of 50 Omen systems, creating an early demand signal. Archer manufactures the powertrain across ~1,000,000 sq ft of U.S. facilities and says vertical integration of its battery pack enabled aviation-grade safety, performance, and reliability. The deal introduces a new revenue stream and expands Archer’s addressable market into defense and third‑party aircraft manufacturing.
