MIAMI – July 28, 2025 — UrbanLink Air Mobility, a pioneering South Florida-based advanced air and maritime mobility operator, today announced it has reached an initial agreement with a major alternative asset finance company to lease up to ten (10) BETA Technologies electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) aircraft from their current order book with BETA. The first delivery is anticipated in late 2027.
This agreement positions UrbanLink to launch all-electric operations in late 2027, utilizing a network of Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) across South Florida - with planned routes extending north to Orlando and Tampa, and south through the Florida Keys to Key West.
UrbanLink also plans to acquire BETA’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft once available, with operations expected to launch from a network of vertiports currently being developed in partnership with airports, municipalities, and county governments.
