Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) today announced it has partnered with cities across the U.S. to submit multiple applications to launch initial air taxi operations under the White House's eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).
Established via President Trump's "Unleashing Drone Dominance" Executive Order, the eIPP is designed to accelerate adoption of electric air taxis in major cities across the country by creating operational pathways for the top American eVTOL companies.
Archer's applications focus on establishing the foundation required for long-term electric air taxi services in select U.S. cities. This includes building local operations teams, developing or upgrading infrastructure to support eVTOL flights and coordinating closely with public safety and emergency response agencies.
