Archer Aviation has revealed plans for an AAM electric air taxi network in the Miami metropolitan area, to help transform how residents and visitors move across one of the fastest growing regions in the USA.
In a press release announced, Archer says its planned network will connect major population and business centers, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach via 10 to 20-minute flights.
Additionally, the network is intended to offer efficient travel options between the region’s three major international airports: Miami International Airport (MIA), Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL), and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), as well as several general aviation airports in the area.
Francis Suarez, Mayor of Miami, said: “Miami has never been afraid to bet on the future. We’re a city that attracts visionaries, embraces breakthrough technology, and turns bold ideas into real impact.
“For years, I’ve worked with Archer as they’ve advanced a vision for an AAM air-taxi network that will elevate Miami’s position as a global capital for innovation and mobility. What they’re building isn’t just transformational transportation, it embodies the Miami mindset: we lead, we innovate, and we redefine what’s possible.”
To support this mobility effort, Archer is working with leading infrastructure and real estate partners to ready existing helipad infrastructure and stand up new build vertiports.
Related Ross plans to develop a vertiport within its West Palm Beach downtown development, with the aim to create a new premium mobility hub.
Led by visionary developer Stephen Ross, Related Ross is a fully integrated real estate company shaping South Florida’s next generation of growth, With more than $10 billion planned in investment across Palm Beach County.
Mr Ross, who is CEO and Chairman of Related Ross, said: “Our partnership with Archer marks a pivotal step in expanding South Florida’s regional connectivity through cutting-edge technology.
“We are integrating Archer’s electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft into our flagship locations across South Florida, including Related Ross developments in West Palm Beach, and Apogee Club in Hobe Sound. We’re excited to embrace a forward-thinking vision that transforms how people and businesses move across the region.”
While Dragon Global’s Magic City Innovation District® in Miami’s Little Haiti plans to build a vertiport site to one of Miami’s most ambitious mixed-use technology and innovation communities.
Hard Rock Stadium, and Apogee Golf Club, one of the country’s most prestigious golf clubs, feature existing helipads that will be readied for electric operations, enabling air taxi flights.
Hard Rock Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium which is home to the Miami Dolphins NFL team, University of Miami Hurricanes, the Formula One Miami Grand Prix and Miami Open presented by Itau. The venue will also host several matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be held across Canada, Mexico and USA.
Bob Zangrillo, Founder of Dragon Global and a partner in the Magic City Innovation District®, said, “The Magic City Innovation District was designed as a next-generation hub for technology, culture, and mobility.
“Plaza Equity Partners, the project’s developer, is driving that vision forward by partnering with Archer to integrate an entirely new layer of transportation — an air mobility network that connects our district with the broader region and advances a multimodal, future-ready transportation ecosystem for South Florida.”
Archer’s Midnight aircraft is a piloted AAM aircraft designed to carry four passengers and perform rapid back-to-back trips with minimal charge time between flights.
Midnight has the potential to replace 60–90-minute commutes by car with 10 to 20-minute electric air taxi flights that are safe, sustainable, low-noise and cost-competitive with ground transportation, sustainable, low-noise and cost-competitive with ground transportation.
