Future Flight Global (FFG) says it plans to launch a regional air service in Florida in the first quarter of 2027, starting with Pilatus PC-12 turboprops and later moving to electric aircraft. The company announced the plan on November 9 at an event at Signature Aviation’s facility at Kissimmee Gateway Airport, where a PC-12 was shown alongside a BETA Technologies ALIA electric conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft.
FFG is looking at Tampa, Kissimmee in the Orlando area, Miami, Boca Raton, Tallahassee and Ocala as possible markets. It says it will pick the first city pairs based on customer demand and what is workable to operate, and that routes and schedules will be confirmed once commercial and operating arrangements are in place.
Start with proven aircraft
Using existing certified PC-12s lets FFG build the service without waiting for a new electric aircraft type. FFG, which calls itself a mobility management company, will handle route development, sales, distribution and customer service, while the flights themselves will be run by appropriately certificated operators. The company says it will study the whole trip, including airport access and ground transfers, as well as pricing, repeat use and route economics. Over time, it expects the regional network to feed demand for last-mile eVTOL services.
Electric aircraft would come in a later phase, as availability, approvals and commercial readiness allow. The plan follows FFG’s deposit-backed term sheet with BETA, announced on November 5, for 10 firm orders and 10 options for the all-electric ALIA CTOL. FFG founder and CEO Karan Singh and BETA founder and CEO Kyle Clark signed that deal while flying aboard an ALIA.
Partners on the ground
SUVA, the advanced air mobility infrastructure platform formed by Signature Aviation and UrbanV, will work with FFG on ground infrastructure and site readiness, using existing Signature locations where available. It will also help plan future charging and other electric-aviation infrastructure. S3Nova Partners will help connect the program with private companies and public authorities in Florida.
“The path to electric flight starts with the journeys people need to make every day,” Singh said.
