Signature Aviation and UrbanLink Air Mobility, a south Florida-based advanced air and maritime mobility operator and subsidiary of Urbyn Mobility, have signed a letter of intent to explore the safe and scalable expansion of all-electric air operations in Florida. The partnership will allow for research and exploration of infrastructure for UrbanLink's future fleet of Beta Technologies electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) aircraft at Signature's extensive network of private aviation terminals across the state.

In addition, Signature and UrbanLink are actively pursuing the establishment of UrbanLink's operating and maintenance base at a south Florida Airport.

“We are honoured to partner with Signature, the world's leading network of private aviation terminals, to expand our Florida network and establish our operations base at its location in south Florida,” says Ed Wegel, founder, chairman and CEO of UrbanLink. “Signature is already collaborating with Beta Technologies to explore the installation of charging infrastructure across its Florida locations, and our operating teams are working closely together on route development and base planning to ensure a seamless transition to all-electric air mobility.”

“The use of private aviation terminals is critical as we launch operations and await the build-out of vertiport infrastructure to support flight operations beyond existing airports. We will also be working closely with Signature on the planning and development of those vertiports,” adds Wegel.

“We're always focused on creating exceptional experiences for our guests and elevating every moment of their journeys,” comments Tony Lefebvre, chief executive officer, Signature Aviation. “This partnership showcases how our team is looking to the future to deliver those great experiences, and together with UrbanLink we're looking forward to growing the infrastructure and access for all-electric air mobility throughout the state of Florida.”
