Aviation News – Archer Aviation has partnered with the Government of Serbia to deploy electric air taxis, positioning the country as a hub for advanced air mobility in Europe. The agreement matters as Serbia aims to accelerate sustainable urban transport and showcase next-generation aviation at a global event.
Under the agreement, Serbia has selected Archer as its preferred eVTOL partner and secured an option to purchase up to 25 Midnight aircraft, subject to the applicable legal framework. The partnership was formally signed at the World Economic Forum in Davos in the presence of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and Archer founder and CEO Adam Goldstein. The move builds on Archer’s growing portfolio of public-private partnerships across the Middle East and Asia as the company expands internationally.
Archer’s Midnight aircraft is designed for short, repeatable urban flights, offering low noise and zero-emission operations. The platform is intended to bolt electric air taxis onto existing transport networks, reducing congestion while enabling fast point-to-point travel between city centers and key destinations.
“This partnership underscores Serbia’s ambition to lead in advanced air mobility and highlights the confidence governments are placing in Archer’s technology,” an Archer Aviation spokesperson said, emphasizing the role of collaboration in bringing electric air taxis into everyday use.
Looking ahead, Archer will serve as the official air taxi partner for EXPO 2027 Belgrade, running from May to August 2027, giving Serbia a high-profile opportunity to demonstrate electric aviation to a global audience. The initiative is expected to support regulatory progress, infrastructure development, and public acceptance of eVTOL services across Europe.
The Serbia agreement marks another step in Archer’s international expansion and signals growing momentum behind electric air taxis. With EXPO 2027 as a showcase, the partnership could help accelerate broader adoption of advanced air mobility across major European cities.
