Electric air taxis planned for Italy

ITA Airways has partnered with Archer Aviation to introduce an all-electric air taxi network in Italy.

Using Archer’s Midnight aircraft, the partnership aims to deploy air taxi services in major cities across Italy, replacing 60- to 90-minute drives with all-electric flights of 10-20 minutes. For example, an hour-long trip from Fiumicino Airport to Rome’s city centre could take less than 10 minutes with the air taxi. 

ITA Airways is the first European carrier to join Archer’s global network of airline partners, extending its commercial strategy already under way in the US and UAE, among other countries.
