Definitive agreement is the fourth OperatorOS contract and contributes toward Surf Air Mobility's goal of five operators live on the platform by the end of 2026.
Surf Air Mobility will earn a percentage of revenue for all Clipper Aviation flights managed through the OperatorOS software.
Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE: SRFM) ("Surf Air Mobility" or the "Company") today announced that the Company has signed a definitive agreement with Clipper Aviation (“Clipper”) for OperatorOS, Surf Air Mobility's SurfOS flight operations software for Part 135 operators powered by Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) (“Palantir”). This contract is the Company’s fourth commercial OperatorOS agreement and will contribute to the Company's goal of having five operators live on OperatorOS by the end of 2026. Surf Air Mobility will earn a percentage of revenue for all Clipper flights managed through the OperatorOS software.
Barrett Brown, President of SurfOS for Surf Air Mobility, said: "We're glad to add Clipper Aviation to our growing list of OperatorOS contracts, and we are looking forward to helping make their operations more efficient. Bringing Clipper and other operators onto OperatorOS improves how our platform connects supply and demand, as every new aircraft that is added gives our broker network more inventory to choose from.”
Clipper currently operates 4 aircraft. OperatorOS will help Clipper streamline and optimize aircraft and crew scheduling, generate actionable insights and clearer visibility into their operations, and reduce manual processes, all from a single AI-enabled software solution.
Charles Raffini, President of Clipper Aviation, said: “Operating a lean, focused organization makes it critical that systems empower the team and scale with our expansion. OperatorOS is a platform built for growth, and we're excited to further automate and streamline our day-to-day operations.”
OperatorOS is designed to manage aircraft and crew scheduling, flight management, reporting, and distribution for Part 135 operators. OperatorOS has been used internally to run Surf Air Mobility's own airline operations, Southern Airways and Mokulele Airlines, since 2025, and was recently approved by the Federal Aviation Administration as an authorized system of record for electronic signatures and recordkeeping.
Each new operator on OperatorOS adds supply and operational data to the SurfOS platform which strengthens the supply and demand dynamics between OperatorOS and BrokerOS and improves distribution via the broker network using BrokerOS.
Surf Air Mobility continues to make progress commercializing SurfOS across the private aviation and advanced air mobility industries, and Barrett Brown has recently joined the Company as President of SurfOS to accelerate commercial contracts and SurfOS software revenue.
