New Yorkers may soon have a new way to beat the city's notorious traffic: electric air taxis. Archer Aviation and United Airlines are partnering to launch eVTOL flights connecting all three major New York City airports JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark with downtown Manhattan. The companies aim to provide a faster and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional ground transportation.
The eVTOL aircraft, designed for short-distance flights, will be fully electric, reducing carbon emissions compared to helicopters or cars. While specific routes and pricing details are still being finalized, the companies envision a network that allows passengers to quickly travel between airports and key destinations within the city. This initiative marks a significant step towards integrating advanced air mobility into urban transportation systems. The service is projected to launch in the coming years, pending regulatory approvals and infrastructure development.
