    Archer completes electric air taxi flights over San Francisco Bay

    /

    India,20th October 2026: Archer’s all-electric Midnight air taxi recently completed a week filled with piloted flights across Northern California, including multiple flights around the San Francisco Bay that took off and landed at Oakland International Airport. Beginning in Salinas, Midnight’s multi-city journey to the Bay Area took it to progressively larger cities with more complex airspace — with stops at Hollister, San Martin, San Jose, Mountain View and Hayward before landing in Oakland to complete multiple piloted flights over the San Francisco Bay. In total, Midnight flew 300+ miles. The purpose of the Northern California flights of Archer’s ‘No Roads’ tour was to showcase Midnight’s ability to operate seamlessly in the complex urban airspace surrounding the Bay Area’s three international airports — San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose — representing one of the busiest flight corridors in the country. In addition to demonstrating airspace integration, the flights also gave communities across the Bay Area a chance to see the benefits of electric air taxis firsthand: low noise, zero operating emissions, and the ability to skip overcrowded highways — turning drives of an hour or more into 10 to 20-minute trips. Building on the close coordination with the FAA and state and local partners that made the Northern California flights possible, these flights have opened the door for Midnight to continue demonstrating its readiness to integrate with commercial air traffic in the world’s largest cities — with plans to fly in Los Angeles next as Archer prepares to operate under the White House’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).

    SOMON AIR to introduce inflight entertainment with MOMENT

    /

    Paris, 12th October 2026 :  Somon Air, the national carrier of Tajikistan, has selected Moment to introduce inflight entertainment for the first time, as part of its fleet modernisation with Boeing. The agreement covers eight new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. Somon Air currently operates an all-Boeing 737 fleet, and none of its aircraft have offered inflight entertainment until now. The airline is renewing its commercial fleet with new 737 MAX 8 aircraft, as part of a wider modernisation programme announced with Boeing in November 2025. The first 737 MAX 8 was delivered in August 2026. Moment’s platform is scheduled to enter service on these aircraft in the fourth quarter of 2026. The agreement comes as Central Asia records the fastest airline capacity growth of any region in the world: seat capacity across the region has risen by nearly 500% over the past two decades, an average annual growth rate of 7.7%, according to OAG. Somon Air becomes Moment’s second airline customer in Central Asia after SCAT Airlines in Kazakhstan, and its third across the wider Caucasus and Central Asia region, after AZAL, where Moment’s entertainment platform has been on board since 2019. Somon Air’s network has historically been anchored on flights to Russia, connecting Tajik communities there, alongside services to the Gulf, the Middle East, South Asia and a growing number of European points. Somon Air also operates domestic flights within Tajikistan. No aircraft modification, no downtime Moment will equip the aircraft with its Flymingo Box, a portable IFE server that runs on its own battery rather than the aircraft’s power system. Because it requires no Supplemental Type Certificate or structural change, each unit is fitted directly onto the aircraft without an additional certification step, which means Somon Air can bring entertainment onto its new 737 MAX 8 aircraft without adding to its delivery and entry-into-service programme. Each Flymingo Box runs for up to 14 hours between charges and supports up to 100 streaming connected devices, so passengers stream directly to their own smartphones, tablets or laptops. A modular platform Somon Air chose Moment’s Mood platform for its modular structure: airlines select individual modules rather than a fixed bundle. For this agreement, Somon Air has selected the entertainment module, covering video, games and podcasts, the travel information module, which includes a moving map, and the Ads module, which gives Somon Air’s own teams an advertising server to manage onboard campaigns in full autonomy. As content service provider, Moment will supply Somon Air with an international entertainment catalogue, including films, series, games and podcasts, available in Tajik, Russian and English. “Our fleet renewal is about more than new aircraft, it changes what we can offer passengers from the first flight,” said Abdulkosim Valiev, CEO of Somon Air. “Introducing entertainment at the same time as the 737 MAX 8 enters service means we start this new chapter with a modern cabin experience.“ “Central Asia’s airline capacity has grown by nearly 500% in twenty years, the fastest rate of any region in the world,” said Tanguy Morel, CEO and co-founder of Moment. “Somon Air is introducing entertainment at the same time as it renews its fleet with the 737 MAX 8, so the onboard experience is built in from day one rather than added later. It’s the same pattern we’ve seen with AZAL and SCAT Airlines, and it’s becoming the norm across the region.”

This facility also incorporates sustainability features, including on-site solar generation and rainwater harvesting. Building a Future-Ready Workforce When fully ramped up, the facility is expected to employ over 500 people. To support increasingly digital and automated maintenance operations, ST Engineering will provide training and upskilling programmes in digital technologies and AI-enabled work processes, equipping employees with the skills needed to complement their technical expertise and work effectively alongside advanced technologies. “As airline fleets expand and aircraft stay in service longer, airlines need assured capacity, dependable reliability and consistently high quality. Our latest airframe facility aims to meet these customer expectations,” said Kevin Chow, President of Commercial Aerospace at ST Engineering. “This being Singapore’s latest aerospace facility designed for more technology-enabled MRO operations, it also reinforces the country’s strengths as a leading global aviation hub while supporting the development of advanced aerospace capabilities and skilled jobs here.” “ST Engineering’s new facility is a significant expansion of its MRO capacity and capabilities. The facility will feature advanced robotics, digital and AI capabilities that enable connected, automated and sustainable maintenance operations. These capabilities would provide opportunities for Singaporeans to upskill, work with exciting technologies and pursue rewarding careers in aerospace. We look forward to partnering companies like ST Engineering to further Singapore’s standing as a premier global aerospace and aviation hub,” said Cindy Koh, Executive Vice President at Singapore Economic Development Board. Outside Singapore, ST Engineering’s airframe MRO network in Asia Pacific includes facilities in Guangzhou and Ezhou, China. A second hangar at Ezhou is expected to become operational in the second half of 2027, while two new hangars in Pensacola, U.S., will become operational progressively from early 2027, further expanding the Group’s global capacity.
