Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE: SRFM)
Surf Air Mobility (NYSE: SRFM) is a Los Angeles-based air mobility platform and one of the largest commuter airlines in the United States by scheduled departures. In the first quarter of 2026 alone, the company flew 65,376 scheduled passengers across 12,503 scheduled departures and 11,061 scheduled flight hours, while its Surf On Demand private charter arm completed 832 flights, all at a 96% controllable completion factor.
Beyond flight operations, (SRFM) is building the digital backbone of air mobility, an AI-enabled operating system designed to transform how the industry manages everything from scheduling to compliance to booking. And this platform, powered by Palantir Technologies' (NASDAQ: PLTR) Foundry and AIP, is not just for internal use. The company is commercializing its SurfOS software across the broader market, with BrokerOS commercially live since December 2025 and 29 brokers already enrolled.
Latest Developments: A Q1 Beat, a First-of-Its-Kind FAA Seat, and Real Operating Proof
Financial Proof, Ahead of Plan: First quarter revenue of $25.6Mn landed at the high end of guidance, the Adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.3Mn beat the guided range, and full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance improved roughly 40%. The On Demand charter business delivered its best quarter ever, up 77% year over year.
Government and Safety Validation: (SRFM) became the first Part 135 passenger operator inside the FAA's CAAT Consortium. In the same quarter, its airline operations completed a Safety Management System a full year ahead of the FAA's May 2027 mandate, and Surf On Demand earned ARGUS Certified Charter Broker status.
The Electrification Catalyst Is Real: Through a strategic partnership with BETA Technologies, (SRFM) holds a firm order for 25 all-electric ALIA aircraft with options for up to 75 more, and it eliminated up to $100Mn in planned capital expenditure from its prior electrification program along the way. The plan starts in Hawaii, where Mokulele already operates the largest commuter airline in the state.
On the FAA membership, CEO Deanna White was direct: “Surf Air Mobility is building an intelligent operating system for air mobility, and the CAAT gives us a direct connection to the FAA’s research and development priorities that will shape the future of aviation.”

7 Reasons Why Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE: SRFM) Is Back at the Top of My Watchlist This Week
1. (SRFM) Just Beat Guidance and Raised Its EBITDA Outlook: First quarter Adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.3Mn came in better than the guided $15.5 to $13.5Mn range, and full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance improved by roughly 40% to a loss of $30 to $25Mn, with revenue guidance reaffirmed at $128 to $138Mn.
2. SurfOS Is Live and Producing Real Numbers: BrokerOS launched commercially in December 2025. Early internal results: 32% more bookings for top brokers, 57% faster quote-to-close, and 40% more payments processed on-platform in Q1 2026 versus Q1 2025. OperatorOS is scheduled for commercial launch in the second half of 2026.
3. The Charter Engine Is Compounding: Surf On Demand private charter revenue grew 77% year over year to $10.1Mn, its highest revenue and gross margin quarter ever, with revenue per flight up 38%. That is BrokerOS showing up in the financials.
4. First Part 135 Operator Inside the FAA's Advanced Aviation Program: (SRFM) joined the FAA-sponsored CAAT Consortium on May 13th, gaining potential access to FAA-funded research, task order eligibility, and a seat in the working groups shaping the future of the national airspace.
5. In-siders Are Making Moves Alongside Institutions: In April, co-founders, officers, and directors purchased roughly $5.3Mn of st-ock as part of a $30Mn raise structured to limit dilution, $15Mn of it in non-dilutive aircraft-backed credit.
6. The Palantir Moat Is Structural: (SRFM) holds an exclusive five-year agreement with Palantir Technologies for the configuration and sale of Foundry and AIP-powered software to the Part 135 regional aviation market. Palantir is one of the largest non insider shareholders, and Shawn Pelsinger, the former Palantir executive who helped architect Skywise with Airbus, joined the board in October 2025 and was just elected Chairman, effective July 24th, 2026.
7. An Electrification Potential Catalyst With a Massive Market Behind It: The BETA partnership puts up to 100 all-electric aircraft within reach and removed up to $100Mn in planned capex. Meanwhile the regional air mobility market is projected to reach $75 to $115Bn by 2035. Additionally, H.C. Wainwright and Stonegate have applied coverage to (SFRM).
