Dubai: The Abu Dhabi Aviation Group has signed up to launch electric vertical take -off and landing aircraft from the United Arab Emirates and outside. An agreement has been signed with US firm Archer Aviation so that they can start this year and deploy their mid -night’s ‘first fleet’ of mid -night’s Eutiol aircraft globally.
The move is part of the Orchary ‘Launch Edition’ program, which was launched in Abu Dhabi in partnership with the ADA.
“We are excited to guide the region’s Electric Air Taxi service, starting here in Abu Dhabi, starting here in Abu Dhabi.”
The intention is to set up an initial raft for harmony with the United Arab Emirates General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to securely deploy air taxi services in the region.
The rate can be in the range of DH800-DH1,500. The intention is to replace the car by car 60-90 minutes with 10 to 20 minutes of air taxi flights ‘which safe, durable and low noise’.
These services are from busy routes such as Abu Dhabi to Dubai, and it will mean less than 30 minutes of travel hours.
Archer is a pilot at midnight, designed for back -to -back flights over the minimum charge time between flights.
Ada and Archer will work to set up a framework that will allow the latter to set up a ‘practical and repetitive playbox’ so that it can be commercially deployed to several early adupctor markets at midnight.
They also intend to increase operational skills, generate revenue and strengthen long -term demand.
Archer ADA will provide ‘a safe and efficient deployment’, to support the initial operational lift off with a team of pilots, technicians, and engineers.
Archer also intends to offer an integrated software infrastructure, including a boking application to support UAM operations.
According to Archer’s CEO and founder Adam Goldstine, “Thus we will bring our first users from the manufacturing line at midnight. And this is a playbox that we will run again and again when we scale our operations globally.
The United Arab Emirates has been the preliminary adapter of the possibility of deployment of Eutiol aircraft.
“We have been witnessing the progress in Eutol Technology for years.” We are proud to share with Archer to bring this innovation to the United Arab Emirates. As a major force in the aviation industry throughout the region and as the Middle East’s largest helicopter operator, Abu Dhabi Aviation has the expertise to develop urban air movement. “
In Dubai, the RTA is an agreement with Jabi Aviation, which is also on all -electric aircraft. The plan is to launch air taxi services in the UAE by early 2026.
“If a dual -digit market share is safe from air taxi operations in the country, it will be more relaxed in traveling by road,” said a transport industry analyst. “Along with the Alliance Rail, Air Taxis will significantly change the possibilities of the United Arab Emirates transport and logistics.
