Today, Archer and United Airlines, in partnership with the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois, announced we’re planning to bring urban air mobility (UAM) to the City of Chicago. We’ve selected O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to Vertiport Chicago as the next point to point route in which the two companies will utilize our Midnight aircraft to provide a safe, sustainable, low-noise alternative to existing ground transportation.
Vertiport Chicago, North America’s largest vertical aircraft take off and landing facility, is located in the Illinois Medical District near the Chicago Loop. This location was selected as the takeoff and landing site for this airport to city center route because of its unparalleled convenience, access and service. From there, passengers will be able to travel to and from ORD via our Midnight aircraft in ~ 10 minutes. A similar trip by car can take upwards of an hour or more during rush hour traffic.
