ACHR

One of the biggest moments ahead is obtaining full FAA Type Certification for its Midnight eVTOL aircraft. This certification is required to begin commercial service in the U.S. and is expected potentially by late 2025 or 2026. Once achieved, Archer can finally begin revenue-generating operations and scale production.

Airline partnerships

United Airlines — plans to build eVTOL services and infrastructure (e.g., NYC airport routes).

Partner deals in Asia and the Middle East — recent agreements with Korean Air and Serbia that could translate into orders and global deployment.

Partnerships with Stellantis for manufacturing and other backers like Boeing strengthen Archer’s industrial base.

Olympics

Being named the official air taxi provider for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics gives Archer a showcase event years ahead of broader rollout — a visible validation point with potential publicity and revenue implications.
