Aviation News – Archer Partners with LASEC to Provide Air Taxi Services for Major Global Events
The Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission (LASEC) has named Archer (NYSE: ACHR) as its exclusive Air Taxi Partner, a move that positions the electric aviation company at the forefront of sustainable urban transport ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and Super Bowl LXI. The partnership underscores Los Angeles’s commitment to innovative, zero-emission mobility solutions during two of the world’s most-watched sporting events.
Under the agreement, Archer will serve as both an Official Los Angeles World Cup 2026 Host City Supporter and an Official Super Bowl LXI Host Committee Partner. The collaboration aligns with LASEC’s mission to enhance the city’s event infrastructure while highlighting Los Angeles as a global hub for advanced air mobility and sustainable transportation.
Archer’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are designed to reduce traffic congestion and emissions by enabling quick, quiet, and efficient urban air travel. During the events, the aircraft will provide faster connections between key locations such as airports, stadiums, and city centers, cutting travel times dramatically compared to traditional ground transport.
“We’re proud to partner with LASEC to showcase the future of urban air mobility on one of the world’s biggest stages,” said an Archer spokesperson. “Our collaboration with Los Angeles demonstrates how sustainable air travel can enhance major event experiences while reducing environmental impact.”
The partnership signals a major milestone for the air mobility industry, as Los Angeles prepares to become one of the first U.S. cities to integrate eVTOL services into large-scale international events. Archer’s participation could set the standard for how advanced aerial transport supports logistics, tourism, and sustainability in future global gatherings.
With this agreement, Los Angeles reinforces its reputation as a leader in both innovation and sustainability. As preparations ramp up for 2026, Archer’s air taxi operations are expected to play a key role in redefining how fans and visitors move across the city.
