UrbanLink Air Mobility plans to operate Beta Technologies’ electric airplane and eVTOL aircraft in South Florida. The Miami-based start-up carrier has reached an initial agreement with an undisclosed asset finance company to lease up to 10 Beta Alia CX300 electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) aircraft from the lessor’s existing order book.

The first delivery of an Alia CX300 aircraft to UrbanLink is slated for 2027. Announcing the order on July 28, the company said it plans to subsequently acquire an unspecified number of Beta’s Alia 250 electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft once it becomes available.
