Archer Aviation has signaled its intent to introduce its Midnight eVTOL aircraft to international markets with the announcement of its second deal with a foreign operator on Thursday. The California-based aircraft developer has signed a memorandum of understanding with InterGlobe Enterprises, an Indian travel conglomerate based in New Delhi, with the goal of jointly launching and operating eVTOL air taxi services in India as soon as 2026. Archer also recently announced a partnership with the government of Abu Dhabi to launch air taxi operations there in the same year.
InterGlobe is the holding company for India's largest airline, IndiGo, as well as various other businesses in the aviation, logistics, travel commerce, and hospitality sectors. The company will work together with Archer and some as-yet-unnamed “select in-country business partners” to finance and build vertiport infrastructure, train pilots and other personnel, and operate an air taxi service in India, with initial routes launching in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. An Archer spokesperson told AIN that the company expects to be “heavily involved in operations, infrastructure, pilot training, and receiving all necessary regulatory approvals in India.”
