An air taxi pilot program in O.C.?
November 09, 2025
|Los Angeles Times
A three-year pilot program that would bring a vertical taxi to Huntington Beach was presented to the City Council during a study session Tuesday night by Archer Aviation representatives.
Archer is an electric aircraft technology company looking to expand its network, said George Kivork, the firm’s general manager for Southern California.
The aircraft is 100 times quieter than a helicopter, Kivork said.
“We would like to explore the opportunity to bring this zero-emission, all-electric aircraft to this market, to this community,” Kivork said.
The aircraft seats four passengers and a pilot, goes up to 150 mph and has a range of up to 100 miles. The idea is to use the plane for short hops between cities, like from Huntington Beach to Los Angeles International Airport or Long Beach Airport.
He added that the company has been working with the Federal Aviation Administration to become certified. It is in the test pilot phase.
