All-you-can-fly air service provider Surf Air on Thursday introduced new national and global subscription programs and more partnerships with air charter operators that add about 20 new destinations in Europe and Eastern U.S. The additional European routes—which include Milan, Zurich, Luxembourg, Munich, Brussels, Vienna, Geneva, Basel, and Nice—are serviced with PC-12s flown by Surf Air's new European partner, JetClass.
A new partnership with Blade this summer will allow Surf Air members to access Blade's helicopter and seaplane flights between New York City and Quogue, Southampton, East Hampton, Montauk, and Newport, as well as flights between New York City/Westchester and Nantucket. Blade also services the New Jersey coast and runs daily Blade Bounce airport transfers between Manhattan and all area airports.
Meanwhile, Surf Air’s new global membership starts at $3,950 per month and includes all U.S. and European routes. Surf Air’s existing premium membership, which begins at $2,950 per month, now includes access to California, Texas, and East Coast routes.
Additionally, the company has introduced a Surf Air Escapes program for leisure and more infrequent travelers. It has a lower subscription and an incremental fee per flight for access to the Surf Air network.
To support these new membership plans, Surf Air released a new version of its Apple iOS app that adds the ability for members to book a guest on their flight and access to a new charter desk, Surf Anywhere, to arrange flights outside of the company’s network. Customers booking a Surf Anywhere charter flight will automatically be enrolled as a Surf Air Escapes member for that calendar year at no extra charge.
