LOS ANGELES: Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE: SRFM) (“Surf Air Mobility”, or the “Company”), a leading air mobility platform, today announced the release of two new modules within SurfOSTM, the Company’s proprietary AI-enabled operating system for private aviation and air mobility: a fuel optimization module and a crew reserve optimization module. Both modules are live within the Company's scheduled airline operations and bring mainline airline operational discipline to the scheduled commuter and regional air travel segment.

Module 1: Fuel Optimization

SurfOS now reconciles fuel uplift against vendor invoicing and provides flight-level visibility into fuel performance and cost across routes, aircraft, and crews. This module tracks actual fuel burn against planned burn on every departure and surfaces anomalies in both consumption and billing.

What the fuel optimization module does:

• Reconciles fuel uplift records against vendor invoices to identify billing discrepancies and recover overcharges
• Monitors fuel burn by route, flight, aircraft tail, and crew, flagging deviations from plan
• Identifies crew-level fuel performance patterns to support coaching and training
• Integrates airport-level and regional fuel pricing to recommend optimal uplift, enables cost-aware dispatch, and brings greater transparency to vendor pricing and negotiations

Fuel consumption is one of the largest variable costs in scheduled airline operations. This module converts fuel management from a manual, exception-driven process into a systematic, data-driven one.

Module 2: Crew Reserve Optimization

SurfOS now automates reserve crew assignments for the Company’s airline operations, replacing a manual process that could result in overstaffing and coverage inefficiencies.

What the crew reserve module does:

• Calculates seasonal demand-adjusted and daily reserve requirements by base
• Surfaces gaps between scheduled and actual reserve availability, including reserves improperly positioned within assigned bases, to ensure published crew coverage meets operational requirements
• Tracks reserve utilization rates and flags chronic over- or under-coverage by base
• Reduces administrative workload for day-of reserve decisions

Sizing reserves to actual demand has a direct and measurable impact on airline operating cost structures.

Louis Saint-Cyr, President - Airlines, of Surf Air Mobility, said: “SurfOS is digitalizing our airline operations by consolidating fragmented data and manual processes into a single software operating system designed to improve our visibility, coordination, and control. As we introduce more capabilities into SurfOS, our Palantir-powered AI tools are increasingly moving from generating insights to recommending decisions.”
