UrbanLink Air Mobility has ordered 27 all-electric Viceroy seagliders from REGENT Craft to operate on regional networks in South Florida and Puerto Rico from 2027.
UrbanLink has ambitions to build zero-emission regional networks from hub cities such as Miami, Los Angeles, and San Juan, using all-electric air, sea, and ground vehicles.
Under the agreement, UrbanLink will operate REGENT’s flagship Viceroy seagliders with up to 12-passenger and travel at up to 180mph over service routes up to 180 miles on a single charge.
“Our partnership with REGENT further advances our mission to bring zero-emission regional travel to the U.S., with a specific focus on the Miami and San Juan markets,” said Ed Wegel, UrbanLink Founder and Chairman. “This order perfectly complements our previous commitment to electric sea vessels, all of which will seamlessly integrate with our all-electric eVTOL jets, expanding our reach and enhancing connectivity across the regions we serve.”
Wegel added: “By embracing these innovative, zero-emission modes of transportation—whether by sea or air—we’re not only shaping the future of travel but also taking meaningful steps toward a cleaner, more sustainable environment for generations to come.”
UrbanLink highlighted that REGENT’s seagliders can use existing dock infrastructure and will promote increased connectivity and charging options, which will benefit other electric vehicles operating in that space.
“UrbanLink’s order expands the opportunity to connect millions of people in South Florida and Puerto Rico with efficient, comfortable, and sustainable transportation solutions,” said Billy Thalheimer, Co-founder and CEO, REGENT. “As demand for seagliders grows, this agreement brings us closer to realizing their potential to enhance existing transportation systems and improve people’s lives.”
As well as REGENT Seagliders, UrbanLink’s fleet will include Lilium Jet aircraft, Artemis sea crafts and Eviation’s Alice electric aircraft.
