Ethiopian Airlines and the electrical vehicle takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft developer Archer Aviation have signed an agreement that could see the carrier launch air taxi travel in the future.
On March 27, 2025, Archer Aviation announced that a contract with Africa’s largest airline had been signed to deploy an initial fleet of Midnight aircraft in the Ethiopian region.
The $30 million agreement forms part of Archer’s ‘Launch Edition’ program, designed to “create a scalable commercialization framework for safely deploying aircraft in early adopter markets”.
