The Helicopter Company (THC) plans to operate Archer Aviation’s Midnight eVTOL aircraft for air taxi services in Saudi Arabia. The companies announced the partnership, which also includes real estate group Red Sea Global, at the Dubai Airshow on Wednesday.

Rotorcraft operator THC is not committed to buying a specified number of the four-passenger Midnight model. For now, the companies will jointly develop and test plans for operating the aircraft for flights to Red Sea Global tourist properties, including The Red Sea and AMAALA.
