Deanna Leigh White, CEO of Surf Air Mobility INC (NASDAQ: SRFM), disposed of 27,720 shares of common stock on April 16, 2026, executing two identical transactions that together generated proceeds of $36,188. Each sale comprised 13,860 shares transacted at $1.3055 per share, according to regulatory filings.
Footnotes in the filing explain the two sales were executed to cover tax obligations tied to equity vesting. The first lot of 13,860 shares was sold to satisfy taxes related to the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units. The second, also 13,860 shares, was sold to meet tax liabilities arising from the vesting of restricted stock units.
Following the transactions, White retains direct ownership of 675,530 shares in Surf Air Mobility, a company with an indicated market capitalization of $96 million. The stock has since moved up to $1.36, representing a roughly 20% advance over the past week, although the company’s share price remains down 71% over the prior six months.

Operationally and financially, Surf Air Mobility has reported mixed signals. The company reported fourth-quarter 2025 revenue of $26.4 million, missing the $57.2 million consensus by 53.85%. Despite the revenue shortfall, management completed the implementation of a Safety Management System for Southern Airways Express operations, finishing the program one year ahead of the Federal Aviation Administration’s May 2027 deadline. That completion places Southern Airways Express among nine Part 135 commuter operators with confirmed operational safety systems.
On the analyst front, Canaccord Genuity reduced its price target on Surf Air Mobility to $2.25 from $3.50 but kept a Hold rating. In its commentary the firm emphasized that Surf Air Mobility reported its third consecutive profitable quarter and achieved top-and-bottom-line quarterly guidance for the eighth consecutive reporting period.
Canaccord’s note also highlighted a strategic redirection at the company: management is transitioning toward a business model centered on software-enabled regional airline services and charter/booking offerings while de-emphasizing work on eCTOL aircraft technology. The combined insider transaction, financial results, safety milestone, and analyst repricing reflect Surf Air Mobility’s current mix of strategic adjustments and operational developments.
