Future Flight Global Plans Florida Regional Service for 2027

Future Flight Global plans to start a regional air service in Florida in the first quarter of 2027, using existing certified Pilatus PC-12 aircraft for its initial phase. The company is expected to oversee route development and customer-facing operations, while certified aircraft operators provide the flights.

Key details

• Potential destinations under consideration include Tampa, Kissimmee, Miami, Boca Raton, Tallahassee and Ocala.
• The program would assess passenger demand, willingness to pay, repeat use, service reliability and the economics of individual routes.
• Future Flight Global reportedly has a deposit-backed, binding term sheet with BETA Technologies covering 10 firm orders for ALIA CTOL aircraft and options for 10 more.
• SUVA is described as supporting ground-infrastructure planning and site readiness, including assessments of existing aviation facilities.

The planned service would initially use existing certified Pilatus PC-12 aircraft.

Why it matters

The planned service would give Future Flight Global a way to evaluate routes and customer demand using certified aircraft before a possible shift to electric aircraft. SUVA's work includes assessing aviation facilities, with potential future planning for electric-aircraft charging infrastructure.
