Electric air taxi Archer says it's partnering with United Airlines to fly New Yorkers to and from NYC airports in as little as 5 minutes

FAA clearance is still pending, though.
Archer Aviation, in partnership with United Airlines, has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval to begin testing its electric air taxi service between New York City and its airports, marking a significant step towards launching commercial operations by 2025.
