The UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) approves Archer's first hybrid helipad in the United Arab Emirates, located at the Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal.

April 24 2025 

They will now work with Falcon Aviation Services to transform this location into the first eVTOL-ready site in the country.

This transformation is supported by a new GCAA regulatory framework designed to support the operation of helicopters and eVTOLs from a single platform—the first of its kind by a civil aviation authority globally.

This hub will seek to provide passengers with a seamless and faster way to reach some of Abu Dhabi’s most iconic destinations:

📍 Louvre Abu Dhabi – A gateway to global art and culture
📍 Saadiyat Cultural District – The future home of world-renowned museums
📍 La Corniche – A stunning waterfront escape
