Archer Aviation is set to gain access to Signature Aviation's private aviation terminal network after the two parties signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on June 17, 2024. Signature has a network of over 200 airport terminals, giving Archer access to takeoff and landing sites in major metropolitan areas across the US and globally, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, and Texas.
The MoU identifies initial day one opportunities for launching air taxi services including in key United Airlines hubs at Newark International (EWR) and Chicago O'Hare airports by the end of 2025.
""By focusing on electrifying key aviation assets in major cities such as New York and Chicago, we are taking essential steps toward making sustainable and efficient air travel a reality,"" said Archer chief growth & infrastructure officer Bryan Bernhard. ""This partnership will help us establish a robust network of landing sites across the country to enable the scaling of our air taxi service, ensuring our Midnight aircraft can seamlessly integrate into urban environments and provide a reliable transportation solution for our passengers.""
The two companies plan to leverage their existing partnerships with BETA Technologies to install BETA’s interoperable rapid recharging systems, which can charge various airport transportation as well as electric aircraft, across Signature’s network.
