AEG and Archer Aviation plan to develop Downtown Los Angeles’ first vertiport—a vertical takeoff and landing site for electric air taxis—at L.A. LIVE. The agreement, brokered by AEG Global Partnerships, makes Archer the exclusive air taxi partner of the four-million-square-foot sports and entertainment district.
“Working with AEG on an iconic project like this vertiport at L.A. LIVE gives us the opportunity to continue building the infrastructure needed for Southern California to lead in the next era of all-electric flight,” said Archer’s founder and CEO, Adam Goldstein.
AEG and Archer have completed the initial feasibility study for the L.A. LIVE site, including land-use and airspace reviews, power availability and community impact. The next phase, reviewing operational approach and guest experience, is currently underway as the partners work toward establishing the site as Los Angeles’ first downtown vertiport. Plans call for the vertiport to be ready in time for the LA28 Games.
