PAS 2025: Archer Teams Up With Jetex To Develop Global Air Taxi Infrastructure

Archer Avi­a­tion has entered a strate­gic part­ner­ship with glob­al avi­a­tion ser­vices provider Jetex to sup­port the future deploy­ment of its Mid­night eVTOL air­craft, begin­ning with infra­struc­ture in the UAE.

Announced at the Paris Air Show, the col­lab­o­ra­tion aims to retro­fit and enhance Jetex’s net­work of pri­vate avi­a­tion ter­mi­nals to accom­mo­date Archer’s air taxi oper­a­tions.

Jetex oper­ates 40 fixed base oper­a­tor (FBO) facil­i­ties across more than 30 coun­tries, and this will offer Archer a sig­nif­i­cant plat­form to scale its planned com­mer­cial ver­ti­port net­work.

The two com­pa­nies will ini­tial­ly focus on sites in the UAE, with expan­sion plans cov­er­ing Jetex’s broad­er inter­na­tion­al port­fo­lio.

Accord­ing to the announce­ment, Archer and Jetex will work togeth­er to design an inte­grat­ed pas­sen­ger expe­ri­ence, pair­ing the oper­a­tional require­ments of eVTOL air­craft with Jetex’s lux­u­ry ser­vice stan­dards.

Focus On Passenger Experience & Global Expansion

Adel Mar­di­ni, Founder and CEO of Jetex, said, “eVTOL tech­nol­o­gy is an instru­men­tal part of our indus­try, designed to trans­form urban mobil­i­ty and shape the future of busi­ness avi­a­tion. We are proud to work with our part­ners at Archer on mak­ing this ambi­tious vision a real­i­ty at Jetex Abu Dhabi and our oth­er glob­al des­ti­na­tions.”

The part­ner­ship builds on Archer’s exist­ing infra­struc­ture ini­tia­tives as the com­pa­ny pre­pares to com­mer­cial­ize its Mid­night air­craft. Upgrades at Jetex facil­i­ties will aim to sup­port dai­ly eVTOL oper­a­tions while main­tain­ing Jetex’s empha­sis on high-end cus­tomer ser­vice and tech­nol­o­gy-dri­ven expe­ri­ences.

“Build­ing a beau­ti­ful, safe and high-per­form­ing air­craft is only one aspect of our busi­ness,” said Adam Gold­stein, Founder and CEO of Archer.

“To suc­ceed in the UAE and beyond we need to pair Mid­night with strate­gic infra­struc­ture that allows us to oper­ate by deliv­er­ing a pre­mi­um expe­ri­ence for our pas­sen­gers. With their wide-rang­ing glob­al port­fo­lio, and deep exper­tise with high-end cus­tomer ser­vice, Jetex is a per­fect fit as a part­ner in Archer’s com­mer­cial­iza­tion strat­e­gy.”

The announce­ment fol­lows a series of recent devel­op­ments for Archer in the UAE, includ­ing reg­u­la­to­ry design approval for the country’s first hybrid heli­port at the Abu Dhabi Cruise Ter­mi­nal.

The com­pa­ny also con­tin­ues to work with region­al avi­a­tion stake­hold­ers such as Abu Dhabi Avi­a­tion as it advances its cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and oper­a­tional plans in the Mid­dle East.
