Frisco Station is the only business district named in a Dallas-Fort Worth air taxi network that Archer Aviation laid out on Friday, Oct. 23, as part of plans covering three Texas metro areas.
The company, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, said its North Texas network would tie six airports to business hubs, and it singled out Frisco Station as an example. The airports are DFW International, Love Field, Fort Worth Meacham International, Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance, and the municipal airports in Addison and Arlington.
Archer's announcement describes the 242-acre mixed-use project around The Star, the Dallas Cowboys' headquarters, as a mix of high-end office space, homes, hotels and a health and wellness district that is still growing.
The flights would use Midnight, Archer's all-electric aircraft. The company says the goal is to shrink ground trips of an hour to 90 minutes between airports, business districts and major destinations into flights of roughly 10 to 20 minutes.
What the announcement does not say
Archer did not say where a Frisco Station landing site would be, when service could begin or what a ride would cost. Its release labels potential routes, timing and operations as forward-looking statements that could change. The company said it plans to fly in Los Angeles next, ahead of the 2028 Olympics, before planned Texas operations under the White House's eVTOL Integration Pilot Program.
Founder and CEO Adam Goldstein said the Texas networks would connect "the biggest airports, business districts and sporting hubs." U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, quoted in the release, said the plans would let Texans "reclaim their time."
