rcher Aviation and Falcon Aviation have joined hands to introduce a groundbreaking concept of flying taxi services connecting Dubai and Abu Dhabi, promising astonishingly short travel times of just 30 minutes.
Their ambitious plan includes establishing cutting-edge vertiport infrastructure at strategic locations in both cities, such as the Falcon Heliport at Atlantis, the Palm in Dubai, and the Marina Mall heliport in Abu Dhabi’s Corniche.
This partnership represents a significant milestone in the launch of Archer’s Midnight flying car service in the UAE and the wider Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, with operations slated to commence as early as 2025.
The proposed flying taxis will predominantly navigate over water routes, affording passengers breathtaking aerial views of both urban landscapes while substantially reducing travel duration in comparison to traditional ground transportation methods.
Adam Goldstein, the visionary founder and CEO of Archer, expressed his enthusiasm about collaborating with well-established operators like Falcon Aviation and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office to introduce the concept of urban air mobility to the region.
Falcon Aviation CEO Captain Ramandeep Oberoi echoed this sentiment, emphasizing their track record of delivering world-class transportation solutions to discerning clientele.
This innovative venture builds upon a memorandum of understanding inked between the two entities last year, wherein Falcon Aviation committed to operating a fleet of Archer’s Midnight flying cars.
It seamlessly aligns with Archer’s strategic expansion blueprint, with the UAE earmarked as its inaugural international launch market. The partnership underscores a shared commitment to revolutionize regional transportation dynamics through cutting-edge technology and forward-thinking collaboration.
