Korean Air and Archer Aviation announced they have signed an agreement to commercialize Archer’s Midnight electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in South Korea. The collaboration, announced Monday in Seoul, includes the potential for Korean Air to purchase up to 100 Midnight aircraft and marks the start of jointly navigating relevant government applications.

Korean Air said its aerospace manufacturing and maintenance experience, coupled with Archer’s eVTOL development expertise, will provide a foundation for introducing new aircraft capabilities across multiple markets in Korea.

“This partnership with Archer will accelerate Korea’s leadership in next-generation air mobility,” said Jin Kyu Lim, senior vice president and head of Korean Air’s aerospace business.
