Surf Air announced plans to “scale” its ad hoc charter division in March.

It has since launched a revamped jet card with callouts as low as six hours before departure.

Surf Air CEO Deanna White previously said, “We are in the process of recalibrating our on-demand business, and I believe there is a lot of opportunity to optimize and profitability scale this business.”

She added, “We are expanding our client base from short-haul turboprop aircraft to midsize and heavy jet aircraft types and expect revenues to increase and margins to expand as our mix shifts.”

White added that the company was “moving to secure inventory with volume purchasing agreements” from third-party charter operators.
