With support from SUVA (Signature UrbanV Alliance) and S3Nova Partners, planned PC-12 program will inform customer demand, schedules and pricing following FFG’s deposit-backed binding term sheet for aircraft with BETA Technologies.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Nov. 9, 2026 – Future Flight Global (FFG) today announced plans for a Florida regional air service, targeting a Q1 2027 launch using Pilatus PC-12 aircraft. The program is being developed with support from SUVA (Signature UrbanV Alliance) and S3Nova Partners to establish a practical service model ahead of future electric operations.
The announcement follows last week’s deposit-backed term sheet for 10 firm and 10 aircraft options, signed by FFG founder and chief executive officer Karan Singh and BETA founder and chief executive officer Kyle Clark while flying aboard a BETA ALIA aircraft. The agreement forms part of FFG’s broader aircraft-agnostic strategy, with the initial Florida service intended to build customer relationships and commercial experience before future electric aircraft deployment.
Markets under consideration include Tampa, Kissimmee in the Orlando area, Miami, Boca Raton, Tallahassee and Ocala. FFG will prioritize initial city pairs according to customer demand and operating feasibility, with routes and schedules to be confirmed as commercial and operating arrangements are finalized.
Developing the initial service
The initial phase is planned to begin in Q1 2027 using existing certified PC-12 aircraft. This approach allows service development to proceed independently of the introduction of a new electric aircraft type.
FFG will lead route development, customer acquisition, distribution and customer service, coordinating delivery with appropriately certificated aircraft operators. As a mobility management company, FFG brings aircraft and specialist partners together around the requirements of each market and mission.
The service is intended for business and leisure travelers seeking faster, more convenient regional connections as an alternative to lengthy road journeys or inconvenient air connections. FFG will assess the complete customer journey, including airport access and ground transfers, alongside willingness to pay, repeat use, service reliability and the economics of each route. Over time, the regional network is also intended to generate connecting demand for future last-mile eVTOL services.
“My partner, Toni Drummond, and I have always been passionately driven by a simple desire – using aviation to make life better. The path to electric flight starts with the journeys people need to make every day. In Florida, we are bringing together existing infrastructure, proven aircraft and the right partners to build regional services around real customer demand. Our aim is to establish the routes, customer relationships and operating experience that will make electric aviation a practical part of everyday travel,” said Singh.
SUVA, the advanced air mobility infrastructure platform created by Signature Aviation and UrbanV, will support the program by working with FFG on ground infrastructure and site readiness, leveraging existing aviation facilities and Signature Aviation locations where available. As electric operations develop, SUVA will support planning for future charging, electrification and dedicated AAM infrastructure needs, allowing the service and supporting infrastructure to evolve together.
“We’re pleased to support FFG’s plans for regional air mobility in Florida. Through SUVA, our alliance with Signature Aviation, we bring our experience in AAM infrastructure development to help support the introduction of new services and their future evolution towards electric aviation.” Massimiliano Pane, Executive Director, UrbanV.
Demonstrating the aircraft pathway
The November 9 gathering at Signature Aviation at Kissimmee Gateway Airport features a Pilatus PC-12 alongside a BETA ALIA electric conventional takeoff and landing aircraft. Together, the aircraft illustrate the program’s intended progression from an initial service using existing aircraft toward future electric operations.
“The future of aviation will be shaped not just by new aircraft, but by the infrastructure and guest experience that make new forms of flight practical at scale,” said Derek DeCross, Chief Commercial Officer, Signature Aviation. “Through SUVA, Signature Aviation and UrbanV are bringing together complementary expertise in aviation hospitality, infrastructure and advanced air mobility to help build that ecosystem. Working with Future Flight Global in Florida gives us an important opportunity to learn from real guest demand today while preparing for the electric aviation services of tomorrow.”
Electric aircraft would be introduced in a subsequent phase as aircraft availability, applicable approvals and commercial readiness allow.
S3Nova Partners is supporting engagement with private-sector participants and public authorities in Florida, helping connect the program with regional stakeholders and prospective commercial opportunities.
Businesses and prospective travelers are invited to register interest and share their regional travel requirements at fl.ffg.aero.
“Florida has spent years creating the policy framework to position itself as a global leader in AAM. Through our consortium, S3Nova aligns the necessary operators, infrastructure, technology, and capital to translate that foundation into commercial reality. We are very excited to bring this exceptional team together and will support them in executing and de-risking deployment so we can prove this model in Florida with plans to scale it to future markets for the next era of aviation,” said Philip Brady, President of S3Nova Partners.
