Airline company Surf Air Mobility sets sights on generating over $100 million in revenue by 2025, while also planning the launch of a new software system in 2026, as improvements in its operations continue to gather pace.
Surf Air Mobility Shows Strong Progress in Q2 2025
Surf Air Mobility Inc. (SRFM) has reported a successful Q2 2025, with revenue reaching $27.4 million, an increase of $3.9 million from Q1, and a strengthened balance sheet due to successful capital raises and debt conversion [1]. This progress sets the stage for the company's planned expansion phase in 2026.
The company is actively transforming its operations by integrating technology via its SurfOS platform, developed in partnership with Palantir Technologies. SurfOS aims to unify aviation’s fragmented data landscape with two modules: BrokerOS, which automates broker activities like sourcing and client communication, and OperatorOS, focused on aircraft scheduling and crew optimization [2]. The SurfOS platform is currently in beta, with a commercial launch targeted for 2026. Six new Letters of Intent (LOIs) from charter brokers and operators have been secured, indicating growing adoption and real-world feedback shaping platform development [2].
Surf Air Mobility has also entered a five-year exclusive agreement with Palantir for software configuration and sales in Part 135 regional air mobility, expanding its software market reach [2].
In terms of airline operations, the company achieved profitability on an Adjusted EBITDA basis this quarter, with a high completion factor of 95%, demonstrating improved operational efficiency [3]. The company also successfully renewed two Essential Air Service (EAS) contracts and established a new interline agreement with Japan Airlines, boosting its regional connectivity and service scope [3].
Financially, the balance sheet was fortified with $44.7 million raised in equity capital during the quarter and conversion of $29.9 million in notes to equity, improving financial flexibility [3]. The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $9.5 million, better than the expected loss range of $10.0 million to $13.0 million [3]. Management reaffirmed full-year 2025 guidance and provided guidance for Q3 2025, expressing confidence in achieving operational and financial goals [3].
Scheduled service revenue increased by 20% and on-demand revenue increased by 5% sequentially in Q2 [4]. Management's outlook language evolved from "on track" and "optimizing" in Q1 to "outperforming guidance" and "on track toward our goal" in Q2 [4]. The strategic focus shifted from stabilizing operations and exiting unprofitable routes in Q1 to software commercialization, network expansion plans for 2026, and scaling SurfOS in Q2 [4].
However, ongoing execution risk remains as new software products, network expansion, and electrification initiatives are still in progress [5]. Adjusted EBITDA loss improved from $14.4 million in Q1 to $9.5 million in Q2 [5]. Reeves noted the need to finish product development during the beta phase for SurfOS before monetization strategies can be finalized [5]. No new regulatory or funding risks were highlighted this quarter [5].
In conclusion, Surf Air Mobility is making significant strides in its strategic transformation, with improved airline operations, growing software platform traction, and stronger financial performance. The company is well-positioned for expansion in 2026.
