MIAMI, FL / NORWAY, JANUARY 19TH 2026
Noemi Aerospace (formerly Elfly Group), developer of the all-electric amphibious aircraft NOEMI (No Emissions), today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with UrbanLink, a U.S.-based zero-emission mobility company backed by revered US airline entrepreneur Ed Wegel.

The agreement includes a 10+10 soft order for the NOEMI electric amphibious seaplane, representing a potential order value of approximately USD 200 million.

This exciting new partnership reflects a shared ambition to accelerate zero-emission regional connectivity, combining NOEMI’s all-electric, amphibious aircraft capabilities with UrbanLink’s vision for seamless, end-to-end sustainable travel.

“UrbanLink represents exactly the kind of forward-leaning operator we want to partner with,” said Eric Lithun, Founder and CEO of Noemi Aerospace. “This MoU underlines growing market confidence in NOEMI and the international commercial momentum we are building as we commence full-scale prototype development. Florida is a perfect starting point, with its extensive coastlines, islands and waterways. It is one of the best places in the world to unlock the full potential of electric seaplane travel.”

UrbanLink is developing an integrated zero-emission transport network across air, sea and ground, with initial hub cities including Miami, Los Angeles and San Juan.

“NOEMI fits naturally into our vision for clean, connected regional mobility,” said Ed Wegel, Founder and CEO of UrbanLink. “It’s amphibious capability and electric propulsion make it a compelling and efficient solution for linking coastal and island communities.”

Florida is a perfect starting point, with its extensive coastlines, islands and waterways. It is one of the best places in the world to unlock the full potential of the electric Go Anywhere aircraft NOEMI.

The NOEMI electric amphibious aircraft can take off and land on both water and runways. This unlocks access to coastlines, rivers, lakes and harbors - the natural runways that cover 70% of the planet - while enabling clean, quiet and efficient regional aviation with minimal infrastructure requirements.

 

With this MoU, Noemi Aerospace has now secured soft orders for more than 70 NOEMI aircraft across five continents, reinforcing NOEMI’s position in the emerging market for electric regional aviation.
