Archer strengthens Los Angeles presence through elite sport
The agreement positions Archer as the exclusive air taxi partner for Los Angeles’ World Cup and Super Bowl events, supporting future urban mobility efforts.
Archer’s planned air taxi network would connect key corridors across Los Angeles through a series of vertiports.

Archer has been selected as the exclusive air taxi partner of the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission (LASEC). As part of this designation, it became an official Los Angeles World Cup 2026 host city supporter and an official Super Bowl LXI Host Committee partner.

This partnership strengthened Archer’s foothold in Los Angeles by allowing the company to leverage global sporting events to engage communities and raise awareness for air taxis. Working with LASEC, Archer planned to collaborate with community leaders, elected officials and southern California residents as it laid the groundwork for future air taxi flights ahead of the LA28 Olympic Games.

The collaboration formed part of Archer’s broader ambition to launch an air taxi network across Los Angeles, connecting key transport corridors before 2028. With vertiports planned throughout the region and partnerships with major airlines and infrastructure providers, Archer aimed to make air taxis accessible to residents and visitors alike.

In preparation for the FIFA World Cup matches in Los Angeles, Archer agreed to support the Host Committee’s community outreach initiatives. Adam Goldstein, Archer’s founder and CEO, joined the ChampionLA Core leadership group, while Miles Rogers, the company’s chief marketing officer, took a position on the LASEC advisory board to provide additional strategic support.

“Los Angeles is about to host some of the most iconic events in the world, and we're honoured to join LASEC in support of the mission to ensure those events leave a lasting legacy that benefits the community for decades to come,” says Adam Goldstein, founder and CEO of Archer.
