UrbanLink Air Mobility LLC, a South Florida-based advanced air mobility (AAM) operator, has announced it has started development of an artificial intelligence operating system, Thayer A.I.™, to determine aircraft and crew positioning, forecast surge demand, and provide real time pricing and scheduling changes.
This is just one of the milestones the company has made in the second quarter of 2024, it reports in a press release.
“We have made remarkable strides in our first quarter as a company — from laying the groundwork for our airline and structuring our corporate governance, to preparing for certification and initiating our marketing and sales objectives,” said Ed Wegel, Founder and Chairman of UrbanLink. “Ensuring we have the necessary assets for our operations prior to our first eVTOL delivery has been a key priority. We are excited about the future and will continue to lead the charge to bring smarter, more efficient, and carbon-free transportation systems that enhance connectivity and sustainability to South Florida and beyond.”
With 18 months to go before UrbanLink Air Mobility is set to receive its first Lilium eVTOL jet, the company place an order for 20 firm and 20 option Lilium Jets, formally launched UrbanLink Air Mobility at CoMotion Miami 2024 Conference in Miami and appointed aircraft leasing veteran Raymond Sisson as President to focus on raising capital to finance UrbanLink’s initial order for 20 Lilium Jets and spearhead the creation of an in-house aircraft leasing company to hold UrbanLink’s aircraft orders.
It has also recruited a board of directors and advisors, signed initial agreements with the two established vertiport developers (Ferrovial Vertiports and Skyway Technologies) for the planning and development of vertiports in key markets to support the planned route network and started developing partnerships and alliances with ride-share and other transportation providers to support the plan for joint marketing, sales and distribution.
It has also developed the plan for certifying a Part 135 airline to operate the Lilium Jets, including the initial aircraft for the certification.
