Archer MOUs With InterGlobe for Indian Air Taxi, eVTOL Service

Should All go Well, Up to 200 Midnight Aircraft Sold to InterGlobe

InterGlobe Enterprises, an Indian travel and hospitality conglomerate, has opted for Archer Aircraft's eVTOL with an agreement to "launch and operate an all-electric air taxi service in India", bureaucracy permitting.

The two companies will embark on a path to provide "urban mobility with safe, sustainable, and low-noise electric air taxi service that is cost-competitive with ground transportation", as well as begin exploration into a "variety of other use cases for the electric aircraft in India, including cargo, logistics, medical and emergency services, as well as private company and charter services."

Perhaps most interesting to operators is the purchase of up to 200 Archer Midnight aircraft for the Indian market. Currently, the InterGlobe team wants to be able to use the 4-passenger aircraft on the 27-km Delhi trip from Connaught Place to Gurugram, a 1 to 1.5-hour drive, in approximately 7 minutes.

Rahul Bhatia, Group Managing Director of InterGlobe, said: “Over the last two decades, InterGlobe has been involved in providing safe, efficient, and affordable transportation to hundreds of millions of Indians across the country. We are excited at this new opportunity of bringing an effective, futuristic and sustainable transport solution by introducing Archer’s electric aircraft to India.”

“I founded Archer with the vision to help decongest the world’s largest cities. India is one of, if not the largest opportunity for eVTOL aircraft utilization in the world, as it is home to the world’s largest population of over 1.4 billion people and its largest cities face some of the greatest congestion challenges in the world,” commented Archer’s CEO and Founder, Adam Goldstein, “Archer’s all-electric Midnight aircraft is designed to provide a revolutionary transportation solution that can help address these congestion issues.”

Nikhil Goel, Chief Commercial Officer of Archer Aviation, added: “At Archer, our goal is to make cities greener, smarter, more efficient places to live. We couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with Rahul and the InterGlobe team to bring our Midnight aircraft to Indian cities and fundamentally transform mobility across the country, with the goal of starting with Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.”
