Archer Chosen as Exclusive Air Taxi Partner for Major Events in Los Angeles

Archer's Role in Transforming Urban Mobility in Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission (LASEC) recently declared Archer Aviation as its exclusive air taxi partner. This partnership signifies a pivotal moment for both Archer and the city, as it prepares for major upcoming events including the FIFA World Cup 2026 and Super Bowl LXI. Archer aims not only to enhance the transportation landscape in Los Angeles but also to leverage this association to promote urban air mobility on a large scale.

Under this agreement, Archer will serve as an official supporter for the Los Angeles World Cup 2026 Host City and a partner for the Super Bowl LXI Host Committee. This collaborative approach will allow Archer to engage closely with local communities and government officials, laying the groundwork for air taxi services set to launch in conjunction with the LA28 Olympic Games.

Adam Goldstein, the CEO and Founder of Archer, has expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration, emphasizing the significant role Los Angeles will play in the global scene with these iconic forthcoming events. He stated, "We are honored to join LASEC in support of its mission to ensure that these landmark events leave a positive legacy for the community that will last for decades."

Both Archer and LASEC are focused on creating a memorable experience for the influx of fans and athletes expected in the city for these events. Archer's innovative Midnight aircraft is designed to replace long, traffic-heavy car journeys with quick and quiet electric flights. This transformation of urban travel aims to position Los Angeles as a leader in air mobility technology.

Additionally, Miles Rogers, Archer's Chief Marketing Officer, is set to join the LASEC Advisory Board, which will provide strategic insights to help ensure that the events effectively connect with the community. Archer’s commitment goes beyond simply providing an aerial transport solution; it reflects a desire to build lasting relationships with residents and improve the overall transportation infrastructure in Los Angeles.

As the city gears up for these monumental occasions, community interactions will be critical. Archer plans to facilitate meaningful engagements while highlighting the benefits of air taxis. The partnership aligns with LASEC’s broader goals of creating economic, cultural, and social impacts through premier sporting and entertainment events. By going electric with their air taxi services, Archer is also committing to sustainable practices, which is increasingly valuable in today's eco-conscious society.

Archer's initiatives are designed to not just meet the immediate mobility needs during these events but also to carve out a path that will benefit Los Angeles’ residents in the long run. The company’s vision includes establishing vertiports across the city, which will serve as essential nodes in the air taxi network. Such developments promise to alleviate the notorious traffic congestion that Los Angeles is known for, thereby presenting a more efficient mode of transportation.

Looking ahead, as the aerial commuter landscape takes shape, Archer is aiming to integrate seamlessly with existing transportation methods, making air taxis a viable alternative for daily commuters and event-goers alike.

The collaboration between Archer and LASEC illustrates a forward-thinking approach to urban mobility in Los Angeles, setting a precedent that other cities may follow as they also explore the integration of air taxis into their transportation ecosystems.
