About Surf Air Mobility
Aviation technology company focused on regional air mobility and electrification. Acquired Southern Airways Express.
Overview
Surf On Demand is Surf Air Mobility's fixed-rate jet card, launched in early 2025. It offers guaranteed availability across seven aircraft categories (turboprop through ultra-long-range) with hourly rates locked for 24 months from purchase. The program sources aircraft from a network of approximately 400 third-party charter operators, covering domestic US routes and international destinations at the same published fixed rates. Four membership tiers (Silver, Gold, Platinum, Elite) determine the deposit size and the advance notice required to book.
Callout requirements vary by tier: Silver requires 48 hours for turboprop and VLJ access only; Gold requires 24 hours and unlocks categories through super-midsize; Platinum and Elite require as little as 6 hours and cover all seven categories. An annual membership fee of $3,450 applies at all tiers. Fuel is included in the stated hourly rates, though the program can add a surcharge if fuel costs rise more than 10% from the purchase date. FET (7.5%) and segment fees are charged separately.
Billing uses 6-minute increments, with per-category minimums from 1.0 hour (turboprop) to 2.0 hours (super-midsize and above). A 10% peak-day surcharge applies on 27 designated days per year. Unused funds are valid for 24 months and convert to flight credit with 48+ hours' cancellation notice; cancellations inside 48 hours are non-refundable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Surf On Demand Jet Card?
Surf On Demand is Surf Air Mobility's fixed-rate jet card, launched in early 2025. It provides guaranteed availability across turboprop, VLJ, light jet, midsize, super-midsize, heavy, and ultra-long-range categories at published fixed hourly rates. The program sources aircraft from a network of approximately 400 third-party charter operators. Four membership tiers (Silver, Gold, Platinum, Elite) determine deposit size and advance callout requirements.
How much does the Surf On Demand Jet Card cost?
Hourly rates by category: turboprop $5,850, VLJ $7,250, light jet $7,950, midsize $8,850, super-midsize $10,850, heavy $14,500, ultra-long-range $16,500. All rates include fuel. FET (7.5%) and segment fees are charged separately. There is also an annual membership fee of $3,450. Rates are locked for 24 months from purchase date.
What are the Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Elite membership tiers?
The four tiers differ by minimum deposit and advance booking notice. Silver: 10-hour minimum ($58,500 deposit), 48-hour callout, turboprop and VLJ only. Gold: 25-hour minimum, 24-hour callout, turboprop through super-midsize. Platinum: 50-hour minimum, 6-hour callout, all seven categories. Elite: 100-hour minimum, 6-hour callout, all seven categories. The deposit is calculated at the turboprop rate ($5,850/hr) regardless of which categories you plan to fly.
Is fuel included in Surf On Demand rates?
Yes. Fuel is currently included in the published hourly rates. However, the program reserves the right to add a fuel surcharge if fuel costs increase more than 10% from the date of purchase. FET (7.5%) and segment fees are never included and are deducted from the account balance separately.
Are there peak day surcharges?
Yes. A 10% surcharge applies on 27 designated peak days per year, covering major holidays including New Year's, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas/New Year's Eve periods. Departure times on peak days may be adjusted by up to ±4 hours.
Can I fly internationally with Surf On Demand?
Yes. The program is marketed as global, and published fixed rates apply to international destinations subject to permit and slot availability. Hawaii, Alaska, and US territories carry up to a 15% surcharge. Platinum and Elite members can fly transatlantic routes (US to Europe) at fixed rates. International availability may be more limited than domestic US.
What is the minimum purchase?
The minimum purchase is 10 hours at the Silver tier, with a deposit of $58,500 (10 hours at the $5,850 turboprop rate). The annual membership fee of $3,450 is charged separately. Funds are valid for 24 months from the purchase date.
Does Surf Air Mobility operate its own aircraft?
No. Surf On Demand is a broker program. Surf Air Mobility sources aircraft from a network of approximately 400 third-party charter operators. Aircraft type, cabin configuration, and crew will vary by trip. If operator consistency matters, owner-operated programs like PlaneSense or NetJets use fixed, owned fleets.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel 48 hours or more before departure: the full flight cost returns as flight credit (not cash) to your account. Cancel inside 48 hours: non-refundable. The 24-month validity period means flight credit must be used within two years of the original purchase date.
