Archer Aviation, which is set to run air taxis in the UAE next year, on Monday announced the recruitment and training of pilots to operate electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, bringing the launch of air taxi operations in the country a step closer to reality.
The US-based company has partnered with Abu Dhabi-headquartered Etihad Aviation Training (EAT) to recruit and train prospective pilots to fly its Midnight aircraft.
EAT offers training courses for airport, pilot, and cabin crew staff. It has listed Etihad Airways, Wizz Air, AirArabia, flydubai, Oman Air and many other carriers as its industry partners and customers.
