Archer Aviation Inc. inked a multi-party collaboration agreement to start commercial air taxi operations in Abu Dhabi in the presence of Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Special Affairs.
The agreement was signed under the direction of the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council to formalize cooperation between UAE and Abu Dhabi stakeholders before the first commercial air taxi trip.
