Ethiopian Airlines and Archer Aviation are teaming up to lay the groundwork for an electric air taxi network in Africa using the latter’s four-passenger Midnight eVTOL aircraft.

As a partner in Archer’s “Launch Edition” commercialization program, Ethiopian will receive “an initial fleet” of Midnight aircraft, but the partners have not specified the number of aircraft to be delivered or the delivery schedule. Announcing the collaboration on March 27, Archer noted the deal is worth up to $30 million.
