Archer and Atlantic Aviation Sign MOU to Explore Development of eVTOL Infrastructure Across LA, Northern California, South Florida and NYC Regions

Archer and Atlantic Avi­a­tion, a fixed-base oper­a­tor (FBO) net­work and air­craft ser­vices provider, announced today a sign­ing of a Mem­o­ran­dum of Under­stand­ing (MOU) focused on estab­lish­ing infra­struc­ture sites for eVTOL oper­a­tions across Los Ange­les, North­ern Cal­i­for­nia, South Flori­da and New York City regions, reports a press release.

The col­lab­o­ra­tion will focus on elec­tri­fy­ing sev­er­al of Atlantic’s present avi­a­tion assets to sup­port future elec­tric air­craft oper­a­tions, includ­ing Archer’s Mid­night eVTOL across four key launch mar­kets.

The release explains, “The com­pa­nies plan to lever­age the par­ties’ exist­ing rela­tion­ships with Beta Tech­nolo­gies to install its inter­op­er­a­ble rapid recharg­ing sys­tems. Beta’s charg­ers utilise the Com­bined Charg­ing Sys­tem (CCS) that was recent­ly endorsed by the Gen­er­al Avi­a­tion Man­u­fac­tur­ers Asso­ci­a­tion (GAMA) and is being utilised by sev­er­al top orig­i­nal equip­ment man­u­fac­tur­ers (OEMs) across the indus­try.”

The part­ners aim to launch the ser­vices across ini­tial loca­tions in 2025 and then expand them to oth­er loca­tions across Atlantic’s major port­fo­lio as Archer’s air­craft man­u­fac­tur­ing scales.

Nikhil Goel, Archer’s Chief Com­mer­cial Offi­cer, remarked, “These ini­tial eVTOL ver­ti­port loca­tions will pro­vide a launch­ing pad for future expan­sion across the Atlantic’s port­fo­lio and ensure that our Mid­night air­craft has safe, cen­tral­ly locat­ed land­ing facil­i­ties for our future pas­sen­gers.”

John Red­cay, Atlantic Chief Com­mer­cial and Sus­tain­abil­i­ty Offi­cer, added, “We are impressed with Archer’s tech­nol­o­gy and array of world-class part­ners includ­ing Unit­ed Air­lines. We are excit­ed to work togeth­er to elec­tri­fy our avi­a­tion assets to enable qui­et and sus­tain­able urban air trav­el in cities across the U.S.”

Atlantic Avi­a­tion offers cus­tomers more than 100 FBO loca­tions across North Amer­i­ca includ­ing those in Hawaii and the Caribbean. The company’s facil­i­ties cov­er a wide range of air­craft ground han­dling and cor­po­rate flight sup­port, includ­ing fuelling and line ser­vices, ground trans­porta­tion, cater­ing, hangar, de-icing, and ramp space.
