Europe EditionAir taxis to ferry fans and VIPs to venues at 2028 Los Angeles Olympics
- Archer Aviation will operate piloted electric air taxis called Midnight to transport spectators and special guests between key locations during the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
- The air taxi service arises from a partnership between LA28 organizers and Archer aiming to reduce traffic and offer a novel transport mode for the games.
- Midnight will carry up to four passengers on 10- to 20-minute flights within a network including SoFi Stadium, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, LAX, Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Orange County.
- Archer aims to achieve FAA certification this year with safety measures comparable to those of commercial airlines. CEO Adam Goldstein expressed the company's goal to revolutionize transportation in Los Angeles and create a lasting impact on the future of mobility.
- If approved, these air taxis could ease congestion at LA28 and symbolize a shift in urban transport, though certification and operational costs remain uncertain.
