Archer Named Official Air Taxi Provider for LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games
Archer named Official Air Taxi Provider for LA28, set to fly VIPs and fans across LA with its electric Midnight aircraft.
Archer Aviation has been selected as the Official Air Taxi Provider for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team USA.
The exclusive partnership will introduce Archer’s Midnight electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to Los Angeles, aiming to transform urban transport during the Games.
Midnight is a piloted, all-electric aircraft designed to carry four passengers with low noise and zero emissions.
Built in the United States, it features 12 motors for safety and redundancy, targeting certification standards similar to commercial airliners.
During the LA28 Games, Midnight will transport VIPs, fans, and officials between key Olympic sites, including the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the Inglewood stadium.
Vertiports are also planned for LAX, Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Orange County, offering quick 10–20 minute flights to reduce congestion across the city.
Archer’s aircraft will also support emergency services and Games operations, while featuring prominently in NBCUniversal’s Olympic coverage.
“We want to transform the way people get around Los Angeles and leave a legacy that shapes the future of transportation in America. There’s no better time to do that than during the LA28 Games,” said Archer CEO Adam Goldstein.
LA28 Chair Casey Wasserman added, “At LA28, we're building a platform for constant innovation and creativity, which is why we've partnered with forward-thinking companies like Archer.”
The LA28 Games will mark LA’s third time hosting the Olympics and its first as a Paralympic host.
