Archer Aviation, Signature Aviation sign MOU

Archer Aviation and Signature Aviation announced the signing of an MOU focused on electrifying Signature’s network of over 200 airport terminals, giving Archer access to takeoff and landing sites in major metropolitan areas across the U.S. and globally, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, and Texas. The MOU identifies day-one opportunities for launching Archer’s air taxi service in key United Airlines hubs at Newark International, or EWR, and Chicago O’Hare, or ORD, Airports. The two companies plan to leverage their existing partnerships with BETA Technologies to install BETA’s interoperable rapid recharging systems across Signature’s network of private aviation terminals. These systems utilize the Combined Charging System, or CCS, which can charge electric aircraft, cars, airplane tugs, buses, and other forms of transportation commonly used at airports.
