Surf Air Mobility has provided an update on SurfOS, its AI-enabled software designed for the private aviation and air mobility industries. Powered by Palantir Technologies' AIP and Foundry platforms, SurfOS aims to integrate the fragmented air mobility ecosystem into a unified operating system to improve efficiency, reliability and profitability across the industry.

As part of Surf Air Mobility's recent $100 million strategic transaction, the company directed $26 million from new equity issuances specifically to fund the continued development and commercialisation of SurfOS's flagship products, namely BrokerOS, OperatorOS and OwnerOS, significantly expand engineering and go-to-market capabilities, build enterprise-grade solutions and launch new modules that will increase the company's potential share of the growing air mobility software market.

Sudhin Shahani, co-founder and board member of Surf Air Mobility, says: “With Surf Air Technologies now funded, we are well positioned to begin the commercial launch of our category-defining SurfOS products. Backed by our partnership with Palantir, we are confident SurfOS will set a new standard for AI-enabled regional aviation software and will be part of the infrastructure needed for the industry's transition into the next era of air mobility.”

The Palantir Foundry and AIP platforms power SurfOS's core operating system for the Part 135 regional aviation segment. The companies have also expanded their partnership to provide enterprise implementation services and additional go-to-market resources from Palantir to accelerate commercial deployment of SurfOS.

Ted Mabrey, Palantir global head of commercial, remarks: “This is the next chapter of our partnership with Surf Air. Together, SurfOS and Palantir's Foundry and AIP platforms have delivered AI-enabled outcomes across Surf Air's core business. We are excited to power SurfOS and accelerate its transformation of the fragmented Part 135 aviation segment.”

Surf Air Mobility has seen measurable improvement to its on demand service and airline operations from the internal adoption of SurfOS tools.

BrokerOS has led to: 36 per cent reduction of on demand team expenses since adopting SurfOS, generating higher revenues for less cost; 197 per cent increase in bookings per broker, comparing Q3 2024 with Q3 2025; 14 per cent decrease in quote-to-booking time, comparing Q3 2024 with Q3 2025; 75 per cent increase in on-platform transactions, comparing Q3 2024 with Q3 2025.

For OperatorOS: its crew scheduling tool in the company's Northeast and Hawaii regions is preventing scheduling errors and avoiding cost premiums by reducing compliance risk and operational complexity.

Deanna White, CEO of Surf Air Mobility, concludes: “With SurfOS, including the work we've done with Palantir being implemented within our operations, we're continuing to unlock efficiencies, improve visibility and better anticipate operational needs beyond what older systems allowed. SurfOS is empowering us to operate as a truly technology-enabled and data-driven airline, reinforcing our path for stronger operational performance and long-term profitability.”

Surf Air continues to make progress across the SurfOS flagship products, including the following recent internal feature launches: A Palantir AIP-powered analytics dashboard providing predictive insights on crew performance and operational reliability, currently in internal beta use; expanded capabilities in Flight Ops crew mobile app, including engine trend monitoring and baggage upload features; and a BrokerOS mobile app to enable customer flight management and streamlined aircraft sourcing.
