Advancing Electric Aviation

BETA’s electric aircraft, ALIA, has flown more than 100,000 nautical miles in real-world operations, generating operational data that supports a disciplined certification-aligned roadmap.

HAWAII

We're starting in Hawaii

Surf Air Mobility believes its existing operational footprint in Hawaii through its subsidiary Mokulele Airlines is an ideal launch market for AAM aircraft, once BETA’s electric aircraft are certified, where we believe the short inter-island routes, a concentrated airport network, and strong existing demand make Hawaii an ideal environment for the next generation of flight.

Hawaii Electric Aviation Demonstrations Launch

As of June 2026, BETA’s ALIA electric aircraft has begun demonstration flights across Hawaiʻi, and we couldn’t be more excited about what it means for the islands. We’re flying ALIA throughout the state to learn how electric aircraft could one day serve our interisland network, for both passengers and cargo. It’s a first real look at what cleaner, quieter flight between the islands could look like.

The program brings together BETA’s electric aircraft technology, Surf Air Mobility’s regional airline expertise as Mokulele Airlines, Hawaiʻi’s existing airport infrastructure, and SurfOS™ software,  all working toward a more sustainable way to connect our communities.

THE FUTURE

What's next for Surf Air Mobility

A new era of green flying

We are building a Regional Air Mobility platform
that aims to sustainably connect the world's communities

ELECTRIFICATION

Reinventing flying
through the power of electrification

If you make planes electric, flying can be more affordable for everyone. We believe combining our regional airline brands with electrification technology and a next generation software platform can transform Regional Air Mobility at scale.
RAM – REGIONAL AIR MOBILITY

A new category of
Regional Air Mobility

A new category of regional air mobility, we believe, can create a travel option that flexibly addresses cost, time, and environmental impact. Starting with small planes first, aviation’s energy transition to electrified flight can make it possible to fly from the airports closer to your home.

A Regional Air Mobility Platform

5,000+ public-use airports across the U.S. are underutilized, and ~90% of the U.S. population lives within 30 minutes of a regional airport. We believe combining our regional airline brands with electrification technology and a next generation software platform can transform Regional Air Mobility at scale.

GREEN FLYING

Green flying redefines
our radius of local possibility

When smaller electric aircraft are cheaper to operate, we believe we can unlock the benefits of regional air travel in more places, and a new era of Green Flying.
REGIONAL AIR MOBILITY

“Regional Air Mobility (RAM)
will fundamentally change how
we travel by bringing the
convenience, speed, and safety
of air travel to all Americans,
regardless of their proximity
to a travel hub or urban center.”

THE FUTURE

Turning regions into neighborhoods

A sustainable mass transport solution will be made possible as electrified aircraft lower the cost of flying for more people in more places
What comes next

We’re uniquely positioned
to commercialize electric aircraft

As flying becomes cheaper for both passengers 
and operators, we’re positioned to make flying more accessible and less harmful to the planet.
Our partners

Unprecedented commercial relationships

Our leading position has enabled us to put commercial relationships in place with industry-leading companies across the value chain.
Electrification technology

Electrifying the Cessna Grand Caravan EX

By upgrading one of the world’s most prolific turboprop aircraft flying today with electrified propulsion, our exclusive relationship with Textron Aviation allows us to bring electric planes online at scale through their existing sales and marketing channels.

More airports

A new type of mass transit solution has the potential to unlock ~5,000 public use airports in the U.S.

Connecting you with direct flights closer to the places you actually need to be.
CLIMATE

Helping to decarbonize air travel

Passengers will no longer have to make the choice between the best travel solution and the most sustainable option once electrified aircraft take flight. With electrified aircraft flying short regional routes, we can start to make an impact on the aviation industry’s CO2 emissions.

Green Flying

ELECTRIFYING SMALLER AIRCRAFT

By electrifying smaller existing aircraft first, we can take a significant step toward decarbonizing air travel. Regional flights between 50 to 500 miles account for ~14% of carbon dioxide emissions from aviation.

A delightful flying experience

We’ve solved the greatest pain points of commercial flying: seamless booking, easy check-in, no crowds or lines, private lounges, and an enjoyable flying experience.

Point-to-point air travel

There are 5,000 public-use airports in the U.S., yet only ~500 have regular commercial service. A new kind of point-to-point air travel can replace busy highways and large crowded airports, and change the paradigm of how we move.

WHY NOW

Carbon emissions from aircraft continue to increase, along with demand for flights. Surf Air Mobility has brought together the necessary solutions that exist today to pull forward the future of electric air travel. Everything from our existing consumer platform to our electrification technology is accelerating the path to zero emission flying.

THE PROBLEM

There’s a 915,000,000 metric ton carbon dioxide problem waiting to be solved, and global aviation emissions are increasing every year. Addressing climate change is a categorical imperative for the air travel industry.

THE NEW NETWORK

Making air travel sustainable will fundamentally change how we move around the world. As we work toward reducing the environmental cost of flying to zero, we can redraw the map of where we live, work, and explore, opening up exciting new economic and lifestyle opportunities. 
90% of the U.S. population lives less than 30 minutes from an underutilized regional airport. This network for regional aviation focuses on 50 to 500 mile distances that are critically underserved by legacy airlines and are a bad fit for alternative emerging modes of transportation.

THE OPPORTUNITY

When taking a flight produces fewer carbon emissions, approaches the same cost as driving, and saves customers time, the choice to switch to air travel becomes obvious. Affordable, emission-free flight will create a virtuous cycle that makes sustainable air travel accessible to more people in more places.
