Archer Aviation’s four‑seat “Midnight” electric air taxi will shuttle fans, VIPs and support teams between major LA28 venues—SoFi Stadium, the Coliseum, LAX and more—in 10–20 minute hops, marking the first use of eVTOLs at any Olympic Games.
Archer Aviation has been chosen as the exclusive air‑taxi provider for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, rolling out its piloted, four‑seat “Midnight” electric vertical‑takeoff‑and‑landing aircraft to ferry spectators, VIPs and support teams between key sites. Beginning with vertiports at SoFi Stadium and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum—both hosting the opening and closing ceremonies—the network will quickly expand to LAX, Hollywood, Santa Monica and Orange County, cutting typical L.A. travel times to just 10–20 minutes.
Built with 12 redundant engines and fault‑tolerant systems aimed at commercial‑airliner safety standards, Midnight promises a quieter, cleaner alternative to helicopters. Beyond shuttling ticket holders, the fleet will stand by for emergency response and security missions throughout the Games, underscoring a commitment to safety and reliability.
For Los Angeles 2028 organizers, the partnership is more than a transport solution—it’s a statement. By integrating zero‑emission air taxis into the Olympic mobility plan, they hope to ease road congestion for an expected 15 million visitors, showcase American aerospace innovation, and leave a lasting legacy of sustainable urban transit. As Adam Goldstein, Archer’s CEO, puts it, there’s no better time than the Games to reimagine how Angelenos—and the world—get around.
