Surf Air Mobility Reports Key Achievements in Optimization Phase of Transformation Plan

LOS ANGELES– June 17, 2025 — Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE: SRFM/quote">NYSE: SRFM) (“the Company”, “Surf Air Mobility”), a leading regional air mobility platform, today announced key progress within the second phase of the Company’s four-phase Transformation Plan. The Optimization phase is focused on operational improvements and internal SurfOS™ technology deployment to achieve profitability in the Company’s airline operations this year, defined as positive Adjusted EBITDA.

Recent Optimization phase key achievements include:

Optimize airline operations (Southern Airways and Mokulele Airlines)

  • Steadily improved controllable completion factor1 over the past several months with an increase of 10% compared to FY24.
  • Steadily improved D0 (on time departures) over the past several months with an increase of 21% compared to FY24.
  • Steadily improved A14 (arrivals within 14 minutes of planned schedule) over the past several months with an increase of 21% compared to FY24.
  • Recently won a bid contract renewal in one Essential Air Service community, resulting in ~$9.9 million of additional subsidy revenue over the next 4 years.

Controllable completion factor, D0, and A14, are currently the highest on record since January 2023, and the Company believes the continued improvements to operational reliability will further strengthen customer satisfaction and position the airline for long-term, profitable growth.

Recalibrate the On Demand business

  • The Surf On Demand business has now worked with over 425 operators since inception.

Drive efficiencies from SurfOS

  • Pilot reporting for non-regulatory filings of Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT) reports have doubled since the launch of the Company’s Crew App, strengthening its safety culture, enhancing its operational visibility, and enabling proactive risk mitigation.

The Company attributes much of the operational improvement to steps taken by its strengthened senior leadership team with talent from Southwest, Flexjet, and Amazon Air, as well as the significant investments made in refurbishing aircraft, introducing new Cessna Caravans into service, and the broadening internal adoption of SurfOS.

Deanna White, CEO and COO of Surf Air Mobility, said: “The primary objective of the Optimization phase of our Transformation Plan is to build a more efficient and profitable organization to set the foundation from which to expand our network and accelerate our growth. These recent results illustrate the impact of the significant investments we’ve made across the organization and within our fleet. These improved metrics reflect a tangible return on investment and highlight the results and execution momentum of our Transformation Plan.”

Surf Air Mobility remains on track to enter the third phase of the Company’s Transformation Plan, “Expansion,” in 2026, within which the Company plans to launch new scheduled routes and offer SurfOS to third-party customers.
