transportation; it embodies the Miami mindset. We lead, we innovate, and we redefine what’s possible.”

Archer Reveals Plans for Miami Air Taxi Network with Partnerships
Archer Aviation recently revealed its plans for a Miami metropolitan-area based air taxi network designed to transform how residents and visitors move across one of the nation’s fastest growing regions. Archer’s goal is to connect major population and business centers including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach via 10- to 20-minute electric flights, bypassing ground traffic and unlocking a new mobility ecosystem in the air that is safe and efficient.
The network is also intended to offer efficient travel options between the region’s three major international airports: Miami International Airport (MIA), Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), as well as several strategic general aviation airports in the area.
To support this mobility effort, Archer is working with leading infrastructure and real estate partners to ready existing helipad infrastructure and stand up new- build vertiports:

development, creating a new premium mobility hub in the region’s fastest-growing commercial center.
• Hard Rock Stadium, a premier sports and entertainment destination, and Apogee Golf Club, one of the country’s most prestigious golf clubs, feature existing helipads that will be readied for electric operations, enabling air taxi. Hard Rock Stadium is home to the Miami Dolphins, the University of Miami Hurricanes, the Formula 1

in Miami’s “Little
Haiti” plans to develop a vertiport site to bring air taxis to one of Miami’s most ambitious mixed- use technology and innovation communities.
Francis Suarez, mayor of Miami, commented, “Miami has never been afraid to bet on the future. We’re a city that attracts visionaries, embraces breakthrough technology, and turns bold ideas into real impact. For years, I’ve worked with Archer as they’ve advanced a vision for an air-taxi network that will elevate Miami’s position as a global capital for innovation and mobility. What they’re building isn’t just transformational
“This innovative approach not only supports sustainable urban transportation, but also positions South Florida at the forefront of pioneering advanced mobility solutions for the future,” said Jordan Rathlev, executive vice president of Related Ross.
Bob Zangrillo, founder of Dragon Global and a partner in the Magic City Innovation District, said, “The Magic City Innovation District was designed as a next-generation hub for technology, culture, and mobility. Plaza Equity Partners, the project’s developer, is driving that vision forward by partnering with Archer to integrate an entirely new layer of transportation — an air mobility network that connects our district with the broader region and advances a multimodal, future-ready transportation ecosystem for South Florida.”
Archer’s Midnight aircraft is a piloted aircraft designed to carry four passengers and perform rapid back-to-back trips with minimal charge-time between flights. Midnight has the potential to replace 60- to 90-minute commutes by car with 10- to 20-minute electric air taxi flights that are safe, sustainable, low-noise and cost- competitive with ground transportation.
