Less than a year after announcing an order for 27 electric seaglider planes from REGENT Craft,<\/a> advanced air mobility (AAM)\u00a0specialist UrbanLink has nearly doubled that order size to support plans for high-frequency commercial flights around the southeastern United States.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While advanced air mobility may be a nascent industry, companies around the globe are continuously gearing up to establish commercial networks that support air taxi travel and other sustainable commercial operations. In the US, particularly Southern Florida, UrbanLink has been making tons of moves to establish itself as a major player in that space when it happens.<\/p>\n

UrbanLink has already been working for years to enable zero-emission, end-to-end travel within a 500-mile range by 2028 before expanding that range to 1,000 miles by 2030, beginning with its hub cities of Miami, Los Angeles, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

The company believes its actions have adequately positioned it to become the first airline in the US to integrate electric vertical takeoff and landing\u00a0(eVTOL)<\/a>\u00a0aircraft into its fleet. Fellow eVTOL network Archer Aviation<\/a> is also in the race, so it\u2019s exciting times for commercial air taxi development.<\/p>\n

UrbanLink has committed to purchasing from several eVTOL and electric plane developers, including Artemis Sea Crafts, Eviation Aircraft, and Lilium, as\u00a0we reported back in June 2024<\/a>. Last fall, the AAM operator announced it was adding more vessels to its growing fleet in South Florida, committing to purchase 27 electric seagliders<\/a> from REGENT Craft.<\/p>\n

Today, UrbanLink and REGENT announced an expansion of their existing partnership in which the former has upped its purchase order to 47 electric seagliders.<\/p>\n
