At Stocktoberfest, we sat down with Sudhin Shahani, co-founder of Surf Air Mobility (NASDAQ: SRFM), to discuss how the company is revolutionizing regional air travel through both hardware innovation and software intelligence.

Surf Air Mobility operates one of the largest commuter airlines in the U.S., runs an on-demand charter business, and develops cutting-edge electrification and data technology—built in partnership with Palantir. Shahani explains how Surf Air’s hybrid approach positions it at the forefront of aviation’s transformation, from electrifying aircraft like the Cessna Caravan to deploying Palantir’s Foundry platform to streamline operations and logistics.

He also shares how Surf Air’s Transformation Plan guides its focus through 2026—balancing innovation, profitability, and investor transparency—and how the company communicates progress to an expanding base of retail investors.
