Surf Air Mobility, a US regional air mobility platform, has completed six new charter broker and operator LOI agreements for the SurfOS software programme. This new cohort of users expands interest in the company's SurfOS technology across a diverse cross-section of the private aviation industry, from regional and cargo operators to charter brokerages. These new agreements demonstrate meaningful progress toward the company's commercial roll out timeline and highlight the SurfOS products are being well received by third-party industry stakeholders.
These new agreements are in addition to the company's previously announced beta launch users.
As part of the agreement, participating brokers and operators will play a critical role in shaping the future of BrokerOS and OperatorOS by providing relevant feedback on functionality and identifying new opportunities to apply the technology, ensuring the SurfOS platform is built to address the real-world, practical needs of brokers and operators.
BrokerOS provides a sales platform designed to help brokers automate sourcing, pricing and client communications. OperatorOS delivers powerful tools for aircraft scheduling, crew optimisation and operational visibility. Both modules are part of SurfOS's broader goal to unify aviation's fragmented data landscape and drive profitability through predictive analytics and automation.
Sudhin Shahani, co-founder of Surf Air Mobility, says: “Getting this technology into the hands of real-world users is a critical step. We're building SurfOS to be the operating system that unlocks efficiency, revenue and data transparency for operators and brokers for the air mobility industry. The insights we gain from these additional users are shaping the future of how this industry runs.”
Jeremy Johnson, co-founder and CEO of Dallas, Texas-based JetSetGo, adds: “As brokers, we are always looking for new, emerging technology tools to propel our business upward. Speed and efficiency are everything in private aviation. SurfOS gives us a powerful edge with real-time aircraft sourcing and automated workflows. It's a game-changer that helps us close more deals, faster, with less friction and an exceptional end-to-end client experience.”
Surf Air Technologies, the dedicated software subsidiary of Surf Air Mobility, is developing SurfOS powered by Palantir Technologies' AI and Foundry platforms.
SurfOS remains in the beta phase and will continue through 2025 as the company prepares to commercialise SurfOS beginning in 2026.
