South Florida is set to revolutionize regional travel with the launch of its first electric air taxi network. Covering Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach, this network promises ultra-fast, quiet, and sustainable transportation for both residents and visitors.
Passengers will ride aboard the all-electric Midnight aircraft, a five-seater eVTOL designed to carry a pilot and four passengers. With a cruising speed of 150 mph and a range optimized for 10–20 minute flights, it’s ideal for short regional hops between key destinations.
Key Destinations and Vertiports
The network will connect major points of interest across the tri-county region, including:
- • Downtown West Palm Beach: A flagship vertiport at a $10 billion mixed-use development
- • Hard Rock Stadium: Home of the Miami Dolphins, University of Miami athletics, and international sports events
- • Apogee Golf Club: Premier destination in Hobe Sound
- • Magic City Innovation District: Miami’s emerging hub for business, technology, and luxury residences
Additional stops will include Miami International (KMIA), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (KFLL), Palm Beach International (KPBI), and a network of executive airports like Miami Opa-Locka (KOPF) and Boca Raton (KBCT).
The Midnight eVTOL: Quiet, Fast, and Sustainable
The Midnight aircraft represents the next generation of urban air mobility:
- • Passenger Capacity: 1 pilot + 4 passengers
- • Speed & Range: Up to 150 mph, with 20–50 mile trips
- • Zero-Emission: Fully electric with six battery packs powering tilt and fixed propellers
- • Noise Reduction: Significantly quieter than traditional helicopters
These features make the aircraft ideal for frequent, short trips across South Florida, transforming daily commutes, airport transfers, and leisure travel.
Strategic Partnerships and Infrastructure
The network is supported by strategic partnerships with aviation operators and developers:
- • Related Ross: Developer of Hard Rock Stadium and downtown West Palm Beach vertiport
- • Atlantic Aviation & Signature Aviation: Providing terminals and installing eVTOL charging stations
- • Local Airports: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach International airports are preparing for electric air taxi operations
Stephen Ross, co-founder of Related Ross and principal owner of Hard Rock Stadium, highlighted the network’s vision:
"We’re excited to embrace a forward-thinking vision that transforms how people and businesses move across the region."Why South Florida is Ready for Air Taxis
South Florida’s dense urban centers, heavy traffic corridors, and high-value tourism make it a prime candidate for urban air mobility solutions. Electric air taxis offer:
- • Rapid Travel: 10–20 minute flights between major hubs
- • Sustainable Options: Zero-emission travel for environmentally conscious commuters
- • Noise Reduction: Quieter than helicopters, making urban integration feasible
- • Event Connectivity: Direct access to sports, entertainment, and business venues
The air taxi network complements other U.S. expansions, including Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco, and is part of a growing movement toward sustainable, zero-emission transportation.
The Future of South Florida Travel
Electric air taxis are poised to change the way people travel across South Florida. Whether for commuting, business, or leisure, the network will offer faster, quieter, and greener options than ever before.
With infrastructure, partnerships, and advanced eVTOL aircraft in place, South Florida is set to become a leader in urban air mobility.
