The company said the campaign is part of the US eVTOL Integration Pilot Program and began with a flight across Tampa Bay from St. Petersburg to Tampa International Airport.

Further flights are planned at Orlando International Airport and Kennedy Space Center. The schedule is subject to weather, and the demonstrations do not by themselves represent certification or commercial passenger service.
