Santa Monica, California-based Surf Air has closed its European operation that was offering an Embraer Phenom 300 operated under Gama Aviation's AOC, with scheduled services from London City Airport. Surf Air’s core model is an all-you-can-fly membership with access to scheduled, "semi-private” flights.
