SurfOS signs five operator contracts as Surf Air Mobility expands software platform

Surf Air Mobility has announced five new operator contracts for its OperatorOS software platform, following its commercial deployment earlier this year. Private Jet Card Comparisons reported on Wednesday that Sprintbach Aviation, SkyDance Air, Air Fuga, Clipper Aviation, and Flying Zebra have signed on to use the system, with onboarding now underway.

OperatorOS generates revenue for SurfOS through a percentage of revenue on all trips managed through the platform. The software received FAA authorization as a system of record, clearing it to handle electronic signatures, records, and manuals in place of paper documentation.

The company's other product, BrokerOS, has already secured a multi-year contract with Wheels Up worth up to $12 million. BrokerOS launched commercially in December 2025 and aims to improve internal efficiency through automated pilot pay, crew reserves, and fuel optimization. The platform includes iOS and Android apps and a travel agent portal.

Barrett Brown, SurfOS president, said in a press release that the company is building a "repeatable enterprise sales motion" to drive new contracts. "Private aviation and advanced air mobility run on fragmented, manual systems," he said. "SurfOS is built to change that, and our first OperatorOS customers are now signed. We are building a repeatable enterprise sales motion, and we expect it to drive new operator and enterprise contracts in the quarters ahead."

Expansion priorities

SurfOS has expanded its partnership with Palantir, which will co-sell SurfOS to enterprise prospects and deploy forward-deployed engineers to support enterprise sales and implementation. The company plans to continue onboarding new OperatorOS customers while pursuing enterprise adoption of BrokerOS at aviation companies beyond Wheels Up.

Future development priorities include AI-enabled optimization modules for dynamic pricing, automated crew scheduling, and aircraft-on-ground recovery. SurfOS also plans to incorporate predictive maintenance workflows and aircraft manufacturer software to support next-generation aircraft entering commercial service.

Liam Fayed, Surf Air co-founder, said in a press release that the company intends to position SurfOS as a platform solution for the emerging advanced air mobility sector. "We built SurfOS inside our own airline and charter operations," he said. "And this operating experience sets our software apart from other solutions built outside the industry. As electric aircraft change how aviation operates, the companies that fly, sell, and build these aircraft will need modern software and a platform solution to make them commercially viable. We plan to grow SurfOS into the category-defining operating system for private aviation and advanced air mobility."
