UrbanLink Air Mobility Collaborates with Skyway Technologies “to Expand AAM Support Network Around U.S”

Urban­Link Air Mobil­i­ty, an Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) oper­a­tor in South Flori­da, has signed a part­ner­ship agree­ment with Sky­way Tech­nolo­gies, a ver­ti­port devel­op­er and oper­a­tions com­pa­ny based in Cal­i­for­nia, “for the joint place­ment of ver­ti­ports in key U.S and Caribbean mar­kets,” explains the release. The two plan to release fur­ther details on spe­cif­ic routes and loca­tions in South Flori­da and Puer­to Rico dur­ing the next six months.

This col­lab­o­ra­tion marks UrbanLink’s sec­ond part­ner­ship with an estab­lished ver­ti­port devel­op­er, show­ing the company’s com­mit­ment to build­ing a robust sup­port net­work for AAM oper­a­tions. By join­ing forces with Sky­way, Urban­Link “is set to accel­er­ate the deploy­ment of essen­tial ver­ti­port infra­struc­ture need­ed for its Lil­i­um Jets and the broad­er AAM indus­try,” con­tin­ues the release.

Ed Wegel, Founder and Chair­man of Urban­Link, com­ment­ed, “Col­lab­o­ra­tion between eVTOL oper­a­tors and ver­ti­port devel­op­ers ensures that such designs meet oper­a­tional needs and enhance the cus­tomer expe­ri­ence.”

He con­tin­ued, “In order to finance and build the ver­ti­ports required to sup­port the AAM indus­try, it is cru­cial to have mul­ti­ple part­ners. We are impressed with Skyway’s under­stand­ing of our busi­ness and their com­mit­ment to deliv­er­ing well-designed, safe and effi­cient ver­ti­ports in the U.S and Caribbean.”

Lil­i­um Announces “Pur­chase of 20 Lil­i­um Jets” from U.S Oper­a­tor Urban­Link

With entry into ser­vice expect­ed by the Sum­mer of 2026, Urban­Link is poised to be the first air­line in the U.S to inte­grate eVTOL air­craft into its fleet. In May, the com­pa­ny announced a part­ner­ship with Ger­man-based fly­ing taxi devel­op­er, Lil­i­um, and a com­mit­ment to pur­chase 20 of its Jets with sched­uled pre-deliv­ery pay­ments. 

At present, Urban­Link is focused on pro­vid­ing eVTOL flight oper­a­tions in South Flori­da, Los Ange­les, South­ern Cal­i­for­nia and Puer­to Rico, with plans for addi­tion­al des­ti­na­tions under­way.

Clif­ford Cruz, CEO of Sky­way, remarked, “We are com­mit­ted to pro­vid­ing out­stand­ing oper­a­tor ser­vices and intro­duc­ing inno­v­a­tive cus­tomer expe­ri­ences at our ver­ti­ports, pro­mot­ing the adop­tion of AAM in the most safe and secure man­ner.”
