Korean Air has agreed to purchase up to 100 Midnight electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft from Archer Aviation "to be deployed across multiple use cases" in South Korea, the companies announced Monday. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Archer's Midnight is a piloted electric aircraft designed to carry four passengers. It has the potential to replace 60- to 90-minute commutes by car with 10- to 20-minute air taxi flights, according to Archer.
The purchase agreement is part of a deal in which Korean Air selected Archer as its exclusive partner for eVTOL aircraft, the company said.
