Key components of Archer’s collaboration with ADIO include vertiport construction, operational enablement for air taxi operations in the UAE, and in-country manufacturing of Archer’s Midnight aircraft. Under the agreement, ADIO will also ensure local workforce development programmes for Emirati talent and facilitate the establishment of Archer’s international headquarters and Centre of Excellence in Abu Dhabi.
“This substantial agreement with Abu Dhabi is a pivotal moment for Archer’s commercialisation efforts across the Emirates, as it provides the catalyst to accelerate the launch of our electric air taxi service in the UAE as soon as late 2025. The agreement underscores Abu Dhabi’s strong commitment to Archer and conviction to become a global hub for urban air mobility. With Abu Dhabi’s support, we are poised to continue leading the transformation of urban transportation in the Emirate and across the globe,” said Archer founder and CEO, Adam Goldstein.
“Abu Dhabi is leading the way in accelerating the launch of electric air taxis globally, and ADIO is proud to partner with Archer as one of the world’s most innovative companies. We are excited to support Archer toward establishing its international headquarters in Abu Dhabi, and to develop a comprehensive investment framework that will accelerate its progress towards manufacturing and operating its Midnight aircraft in the UAE,” said Badr Al-Olama, Director General of ADIO.
Under this agreement, ADIO will support the development of vertiports, in collaboration with Archer and other air taxi operators, in critical locations throughout Abu Dhabi, enhancing the urban air mobility infrastructure necessary for Archer to scale operations.
ADIO and Archer first announced their memorandum of understanding at the 2023 launch of ADIO’s Smart and Autonomous Vehicles Industry (SAVI) cluster, which aims to transform the future of urban mobility globally by supporting the innovation and commercialisation of smart and autonomous vehicles across land, sea, and air. The framework agreement announced at DRIFTx with Archer represents the culmination of six months of close collaboration between the two entities.
Importantly, ADIO and Archer will continue to work with Archer’s partners to accelerate the company’s progress in the region. With the support of its early investor and UAE’s sovereign wealth fund Mubadala, Archer’s partner operators Falcon Aviation and Air Chateau, and GAL-AMMROC have announced plans to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul support for Archer’s eVTOL aircraft.
Archer’s goal is to transform urban travel, replacing 60- to 90-minute commutes by car with estimated 10- to 20-minute electric air taxi flights that are safe, sustainable, low noise, and cost-competitive with ground transportation. Archer’s Midnight is a piloted, four-passenger aircraft designed to perform rapid back-to-back flights with minimal charge time between flights.

"SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 22, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: ACHR) will report its first quarter 2024 operating update and financial results after market close on Thursday, May 9, 2024. The company will host a conference call and corresponding live webcast at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) to discuss its operating update and financial results."
So far the move looks impulsive, hoping it is the start of something bigger
Not today it's green from here on. Maybe. :)
The aviation industry is looking for its own Tesla
"United Airlines (UAL) has a $1 billion agreement with Archer Aviation (ACHR) signed several years ago to purchase up to 200 of the startup’s vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, or eVTOLs. Prior to the United deal, the California-based company partnered with European carmaker Stellantis (STLA).
On an earnings call earlier this year, Archer co-founder Adam Goldstein explained why the company took an investment from the automaker: "When I founded Archer, I knew from watching the EV industry that developing the capability to manufacture our aircraft at high volumes was perhaps the No. 1 enabler of our future success alongside the design and certification of the aircraft," he said."
Oversold on every metric and still performs like a raindrop on a window
Someone tell me I’m wrong
Here it comes everyone hold your breath we’re going under!
Just comical at this point
Getting an EV to fly is easy. Getting one to fly for a meaningful amount of time is hard. Really hard. Notice how brief most of the videos are.
Nice breakout of the trend dating back to March 25 with a bounce on the backtest at the close on the lower timeframes
Still resistance ahead but looking for more upside tomorrow
Told y’all! Lolz
Decent close today
Thought we were gonna get one of those CLASSIC days where we lose every inch of gain lol
Still here
It’s hard to imagine short sellers capitulating any time soon especially after breaking through so many support levels
The low was made just minutes before close
It closed above it's low of the day. (where it is still trading AH)
Yea you just said it a lot came off their intraday lows and we dumped
Not buying that.
The R2000 closed with a larger percentage loss than either DJ or Naz.
Pretty much everything (although not 100%) came off their intraday lows.
No stock is comparable to ACHR other than JOBY and that also had a similar day and close
SPX and Russell 2000 both had a strong close relative to intraday
Which stocks in this sector comparable to ACHR had a strong close today? And have they good long term prospects? If so. I will do DD for a possible buy.
Despite the down day in the market there were a lot of strong closes
Not this stock though .02 from the low
Best of luck to everyone but like I’ve been saying something is very wrong here
Gonna watch and see what happens tomorrow lolz
I’m beginning to understand a little after reading OP and your response example.
What I don’t understand is where these shares are being pulled from in order to fill and how/ if these purchases support share price.
All very interesting and gives me hope knowing there are still big buyers are these prices
Your experience, Steve, matches one of this site's examples-
You see, giant institutions like mutual funds and ETFs need a lot of liquidity to minimize their market impact. Further, most ETFs are index funds, aiming to track an index.They need to mirror their underlying index closely, so they have to trade on the close, or else they’d be getting different prices than the index records.

Thanks for the confirmation! 😀
There is always tomorrow.
You can even put in a Sell the Open order and not have to spend all day watching................
Better yet should have sold months ago
I know from experience that mutual funds only care about closing price of portfolio holdings, to calculate the NAV. Traders of the funds may spend the day analyzing their trades, and simply sending them in MOC, since price doesn't matter that much to the fund.
As if it was even a question
Somewhat of a falling wedge pattern on the lower time frames last couple sessions

We set ambitious goals. We make data-driven decisions, hold ourselves and each other accountable and are committed to relentless execution.
Urban mobility is about to be taken to a whole new dimension. Designed to be capable of flying distances of up to 100 miles,
but optimized to conduct back to back flights of ~ 20 miles with ~12 minutes of charge time in between, at a cost that we believe will be competitive with ground based ride share.
Midnight is aiming to redefine what air travel can be: low cost, low noise, with the safety of commercial airlines.
by six independent battery packs, each supporting a pair of electric engines
Midnight was designed from the start with safety in mind. To achieve our desired levels of safety, redundancy is key. Midnight’s avionics system includes four flight control computers,
with redundant inertial navigation, GNSS and AGL sensors to ensure robust and reliable data to the pilot.
Each pair of forward and aft electric engines are independently powered, helping to ensure the aircraft can safely complete a flight should an entire battery pack fail.
Designed to hold a 1,000+lbs of payload, the aircraft can truly handle four passengers plus a pilot.
