Jun 29, 2026 | By Startuprise io

Palantir Technologies and Surf Air Mobility have expanded their partnership to speed up the development and launch of SurfOS, including OperatorOS, OwnerOS, and SurfOS Enterprise Solutions. Both companies will invest additional resources to support the next phase of the platform's growth.

The expanded partnership follows the successful launch of BrokerOS and a recent multi-million-dollar agreement with Wheels Up, which will be the first customer to use Enterprise BrokerOS.

SurfOS is built using Palantir's AIP and Foundry platforms to bring modern software to the private aviation and air mobility industry. The platform replaces outdated and manual processes, helping aircraft operators, brokers, owners, and manufacturers manage operations more efficiently, improve productivity, and reduce costs.

Surf Air Mobility offers different software products for key areas of the private aviation industry, including charter flights, private aircraft sales, and aircraft maintenance and repair. Powered by Palantir's Foundry and AIP, SurfOS is designed to connect these markets, helping businesses match supply and demand more efficiently while improving overall operations.

Ted Mabrey, Global Head of Commercial at Palantir, said: “Private aviation and air mobility are large, growing markets that have historically relied on fragmented systems and manual processes. With Foundry and AIP powering SurfOS, we see a clear opportunity to build and define the central operating system for the future of aviation and air mobility, and our expanded commitment reflects our conviction in Surf Air Mobility and the opportunity ahead.”

Liam Fayed, Co-Founder of Surf Air Mobility, said: “The expansion of our partnership with Palantir will enable us to deploy and expand SurfOS more rapidly into the end markets. BrokerOS showed what our companies can bring to market together, and the additional technical and commercial support from Palantir will help us accelerate that success across the rest of our SurfOS products.”
