• Air-taxi service Archer has unveiled NYC routes. Passengers will be able to get to the three New York City airports in as little as five minutes. No flights can begin, however, until the FAA clears the company's eVTOL craft to take to the skies.

Air taxis still haven't received takeoff clearance, but that's not stopping them from getting everything in order to begin operations.
