Alhinai will be critical in helping to guide the consortium led
by ADIO that Archer announced last week as part of its Q3 '24
results. Through this consortium, Archer has already made
significant progress in establishing the regulatory pathway,
infrastructure and flight operations plans necessary to enable
market entry as early as late next year.
Prior to Archer, Alhinai served as Director of Strategy at the
Abu Dhabi Executive Office, a supervisory body reporting to the
Executive Council under the command of the Crown Prince, His
Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed, where he worked on
the emirate’s long-term strategic planning and performance
review.
“As a leader who worked to advance Abu Dhabi’s strategic and
executive plans in the service of its Executive Council led by His
Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed, Dr. Alhinai will be
instrumental as we work towards our launch across the UAE, starting
in Abu Dhabi as soon as next year,” said Nikhil Goel, Archer’s
Chief Commercial Officer. “His background in aerial robotics and
his expertise in aviation and national policy will help accelerate
our launch of air taxi services in the region.”
Dr. Talib Alhinai commented, “The UAE is leading the way in
accelerating the launch of electric air taxis and it is a
cornerstone of Archer’s commercial launch plans. I’m proud to be
joining to support their growth in the region. The team is
talented, the tech is impressive, and we’ve got a big year ahead of
us — I’m excited to dig in.”
Alhinai also held roles at McKinsey & Company across several
international markets, with experience in high-growth tech,
sustainability and advanced air mobility. Alhinai holds a Ph.D. in
Aerial Robotics from Imperial College London and a Bachelor of
Engineering in Mechatronic Engineering from the University of
Manchester.
