Archer’s all-electric Midnight air taxi has recently completed a week filled with piloted flights across Northern California, including multiple flights around the San Francisco Bay that took off and landed at Oakland International Airport. (Watch Video)

“Beginning in Salinas, Midnight’s multi-city journey to the Bay Area took it to progressively larger cities with more complex airspace — with stops at Hollister, San Martin, San Jose, Mountain View and Hayward before landing in Oakland to complete multiple piloted flights over the San Francisco Bay. In total, Midnight flew 300+ miles,” said the company in a press release.  “The purpose of the Northern California flights of Archer’s ‘No Roads’ tour was to showcase Midnight’s ability to operate seamlessly in the complex urban airspace surrounding the Bay Area’s three international airports — San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose — representing one of the busiest flight corridors in the country.”

In addition to demonstrating airspace integration, the flights also gave communities across the Bay Area a chance to see the benefits of electric air taxis firsthand: low noise, zero operating emissions, and the ability to skip overcrowded highways — turning drives of an hour or more into 10 to 20-minute trips, said Archer.
