Briefing
The proposal maps a dense corridor connecting Miami–Fort Lauderdale–Boca Raton–West Palm Beach with 10–20 minute flights and named vertiport partners, adding momentum to broader Florida eVTOL infrastructure efforts (see the Florida LOI on all‑electric eVTOL infrastructure).
The network announcement dovetails with Archer's certification roadmap — the company is preparing to begin FAA certification flight‑testing of its Midnight eVTOL next year, a prerequisite for commercial service (FAA certification flight‑testing plans).
The move reinforces Archer's hub‑and‑network strategy and escalates competitive stakes: it follows site acquisitions and hub planning (e.g., the Hawthorne airport purchase) while occurring amid industry legal rivalry (Joby sues Archer over alleged trade‑secret theft).
