Following a nationwide partnership, Skyway and UrbanLink Air Mobility have selected Central and South Florida as locations for the development of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) vertiports. 

With major hubs in Miami and Orlando, this network will transform regional travel, offering fast, sustainable mobility options while enabling economic growth. Commercial operations are slated to commence in late 2026.

The new vertiport network will support diverse eVTOL aircraft, enabling rapid connections between key destinations across Florida. 

In addition to these vertiports, dedicated routes will link major hubs and popular regional locations, ensuring seamless, efficient travel. These hubs will enhance mobility and improve accessibility for residents and visitors throughout the state. 

Alongside its partnership with UrbanLink, Skyway has secured Bluenest by Globalvia as a development partner to deploy the AAM network. This investment accelerates the establishment of AAM infrastructure, bringing the promise of new transportation options for Florida’s residents and visitors. 

Clifford Cruz, CEO of Skyway, commented, “Our partnership with UrbanLink and Bluenest by Globalvia is a pivotal step toward realizing the vision of Advanced Air Mobility in Florida.

“Together, we are committed to creating a sustainable, efficient transportation network that delivers far-reaching economic and social benefits. This network will reduce travel time, improve air quality, and foster new economic opportunities for communities in Miami, Orlando, and beyond.”

Jose Ignacio Rodríguez, Managing Director of Bluenest by Globalvia, added, “Bluenest by Globalvia is delighted to promote and support the deployment of AAM in US locations together with our strategic partners. We are convinced that this is a great step to deploy this new mobility with a regional network in South and Central Florida.”

Ed Wegel, Chairman and Founder of UrbanLink, stated, “We are very pleased to be working with Skyway and Bluenest by Globalvia to develop a system of vertiports in Florida to meet our requirements for a network of destinations and routes for our eVTOL aircraft.

“Skyway has proven to be a leader in the design and engineering of vertiports along with air traffic management and navigation. This partnership will accelerate the corporate development of Urbanlink as we prepare for entry into service in the second half of 2026.”
