Future Flight Global (FFG) has announced plans for regional air services in Florida to be launched using Pilatus PC-12s and later Beta Technologies’ Alia electric aircraft. At an event at Kissimmee Gateway Airport (KISM) on Monday, the U.S. start-up, which describes itself as “a mobility management company,” identified Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Ocala, Tallahassee, and Boca Raton as other locations in its network.
Flights with PC-12s are due to start in first-quarter 2027. However, FFG has not said who will own and operate these aircraft or how many of the turboprop singles will be deployed.
Last week, FFG signed an agreement with Beta covering deposit-backed firm orders for 10 five-passenger Alia CX300 airplanes and options for 10 more. This is for the fixed-wing version, not the Alia 250 eVTOL that the Vermont-based manufacturer is also developing.
FBO chain Signature Aviation and its vertiport partner, UrbanV, have agreed to help FFG develop ground infrastructure for the flights. This will include Signature’s existing facilities at airports across the network, with services provided through the Signature UrbanV Alliance (SUVA).
According to FFG, it will confirm initial city pairs when it has assessed customer demand and feasibility. The company will take the lead on route development and customer acquisition, with the services to be operated by “appropriately certificated aircraft operators.”
Eventually, FFG envisages that regional flights between airports could be offered in tandem with last-mile eVTOL services. The company said it plans to attract business and leisure travelers seeking alternatives to road journeys and existing airline services across Florida, which it described as inconvenient.
S3Nova Partners is supporting FFG and SUVA by engaging with private- and public-sector stakeholders in Florida. The company describes itself as “an institutional commercialization and executive platform advancing next-generation mobility.”
FFG has previously announced other plans to launch eVTOL air services, including a 2024 agreement to buy up to 116 of Archer Aviation’s four-passenger Midnight aircraft. In June 2025, the company launched a separate partnership with UrbanV to establish air taxi services at various European locations, including Rome.
