- Archer Aviation has signed an agreement with the Republic of Serbia, designating Archer as the country’s preferred air-taxi partner for EXPO 2027 Belgrade.
- The agreement includes an option for Serbia to purchase up to 25 of Archer’s Midnight eVTOL aircraft.
- Plans include showcasing the Midnight at the expo, developing supporting infrastructure, and initiating trial flights and pilot training by late 2025, with commercial operations aimed for EXPO 2027.
- This deal provides Archer a strategic foothold in Europe, building on its expansion into other international markets such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Japan, and South Korea.
- Analysts noted the option strengthens Archer’s order signals but highlighted the necessity of certification and demonstrating the Midnight’s full flight envelope to secure firm orders and revenue.
- Archer Aviation's CEO, Adam Goldstein, stated that the company aims for certification between 2026 and the 2028 Olympics, acknowledging the significant difficulty of the process.
- The company's primary focus is on being a civil OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), selling aircraft, rather than operating them, which is viewed as a challenging business for a long time.
- Archer is actively involved in the defense sector with partner Anduril, participating in programs like NYX, an autonomous collaborative aircraft, and plans to showcase more defense developments in 2026.
- Manufacturing efforts include a mass volume factory in Georgia that is currently spooling up, with mass production not yet underway as the company refines its manufacturing processes.
- Archer has adopted a conservative strategy in aircraft design and supply chain, utilizing certified components from established suppliers like Honeywell and Safran to ensure certifiability and commercialization.
- Archer Aviation was designated the exclusive air taxi partner for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and played a key role in establishing the eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (EIPP), which is designed to facilitate flights in major cities starting in 2026.
- For 2026, Archer plans to complete all piloted VTOL transition flights and initiate EIPP operations in states including California, Florida, and New York. The company also acquired Hawthorne airport to serve as its primary hub for Los Angeles.
- The company aims to achieve FAA certification between 2026 and 2028, with EIPP flights and the 2028 Olympics being crucial for building public confidence and demonstrating aircraft stability. Archer has committed to disclosing its aircraft specifications.

- Archer Aviation, an eVTOL manufacturer, is focused on commercialization for both civil and defense applications, with a goal to start flying aircraft in major cities in 2026 through the eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (EIPP).
- In 2025, Archer was awarded the exclusive air taxi partner role for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, and they acquired the Hawthorne airport in L.A. to serve as a key hub for the industry.
- The company is pursuing a civil OEM sales model first, believing operating will not be profitable for a long time, and is also engaged in significant defense programs with partner Anduril, including the NYX program.
- Archer's strategy emphasizes an efficient path to commercialization through a conservative aircraft architecture (e.g., 12 rotors) and outsourcing non-core components to established suppliers like Honeywell and Safran to streamline certification.
- Highful Law PLLC is investigating Archer Aviation Inc. (ACHR) for potential securities fraud.
- This investigation follows a lawsuit filed by Joby Aviation on November 19, 2025, alleging corporate espionage, breach of contract, and misappropriation of trade secrets.

- Archer Aviation has partnered with U.S. cities to submit multiple applications for the White House's eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP), aiming to launch initial air taxi operations as early as next year.
- These applications align with the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) newly unveiled Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) National Strategy, which establishes a framework for integrating eVTOL aircraft into the national airspace.
- Archer's proposed public-private partnerships cover cities across California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and New York, including an exclusive application with the City of Huntington Beach to support operations for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
