South and central Florida to gain Skyway vertiport network
Skyway Technologies is working with UrbanLink Air Mobility and Bluenest by Globalvia to build major AAM hubs in Miami and Orlando.

Skyway Technologies and UrbanLink Air Mobility have decided to develop AAM vertiports in central and south Florida, with commercial operations slated to commence in late 2026. With major hubs in Miami and Orlando, this network will transform regional travel, offering fast, sustainable mobility options while enabling economic growth.

The network will feature vertiports tailored for diverse eVTOL aircraft, fostering rapid, sustainable connections between key destinations across the state. In addition, dedicated routes will link major hubs and popular regional locations. The hubs will enhance mobility and improve accessibility for residents and visitors throughout Florida.

“Our partnership with UrbanLink and Bluenest by Globalvia is a pivotal step toward realising the vision of advanced air mobility in Florida,” notes Skyway CEO Clifford Cruz. “Together, we are committed to creating a sustainable, efficient transportation network that delivers far-reaching economic and social benefits. This network will reduce travel time, improve air quality and foster new economic opportunities for communities in Miami, Orlando and beyond.”

Alongside its partnership with UrbanLink, Skyway has secured Bluenest by Globalvia as a development partner to deploy and accelerate the establishment of the AAM network.

“We are very pleased to be working with Skyway and Bluenest by Globalvia to develop a system of vertiports in Florida to meet our requirements for a network of destinations and routes for our eVTOL aircraft,” adds Ed Wegel, chairman and founder of UrbanLink. “Skyway has proven to be a leader in the design and engineering of vertiports along with air traffic management and navigation. This partnership will accelerate the corporate development of Urbanlink as we prepare for entry into service in the second half of 2026.”
