RIYADH: Public Investment Fund–owned The Helicopter Co., US-based Archer Aviation and Red Sea Global have signed an agreement to explore integrating electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft into RSG’s operations.
The collaboration aims to develop, test and potentially incorporate Archer’s eVTOL aircraft into RSG destinations, representing one of the earliest uses of the technology in the Kingdom, according to a press release.
The move supports Saudi Arabia’s broader push to adopt eVTOL aircraft within its emerging mobility ecosystem. It also aligns with the PIF’s mandate for THC, which was established to activate new sectors that advance Vision 2030 and deliver long-term commercial returns.
John Pagano, Group CEO of RSG, said: “At Red Sea Global, we are committed to redefining sustainable travel and setting new standards for innovation within the Kingdom’s tourism and mobility sectors.”
He added: “Partnering with THC and Archer, to explore the integration of eVTOL aircraft into our destinations aligns perfectly with our vision for regenerative tourism, creating cleaner, faster, and more connected ways for guests to experience the beauty of Saudi Arabia.”
