A private charter flight might be arranged in London, managed from Dubai, refueled in Nice, and funded by a customer in New York. Despite operating in a highly interconnected global environment, many aviation companies still depend on traditional payment systems that can take several days to process international transactions. Nuvion and JetPay are working to transform that reality.

Nuvion, an AI-driven global banking and cross-border payments platform that leverages both fiat currencies and stablecoins for businesses and fintech organizations, has announced a strategic partnership with JetPay (formerly Jet Link), a fintech solution specifically designed for private aviation operators and air charter brokers. The collaboration aims to provide advanced financial infrastructure tailored to the aviation sector.

By combining JetPay’s aviation-centric operational platform with Nuvion’s global payments and treasury capabilities, the partnership offers aviation companies a more efficient way to handle international payments, supplier settlements, and treasury management within a unified ecosystem.

As private aviation continues to expand internationally, operators and brokers are increasingly challenged by cross-border payments, vendor settlements, aircraft-related expenses, and treasury operations across multiple regions. Through this alliance, JetPay clients will gain access to financial tools designed to simplify and streamline global business operations.

Key benefits of the partnership include:

With Nuvion’s regulated financial infrastructure embedded into the JetPay platform, aviation businesses can access modern banking, payment, and treasury solutions without the burden of maintaining multiple banking relationships or navigating fragmented financial systems.

“This partnership marks a major step forward in financial infrastructure for the aviation industry,” said Keisha Clark, Managing Director of Nuvion.

“While private aviation operates on a global scale, the financial systems supporting it have not kept pace. Together with JetPay, we are creating a smoother, faster way for operators and brokers to move funds internationally.”

Gabriel Madrid, Chief Aviation Officer at JetPay, added, “JetPay was created to modernize the operational framework of private aviation by making payments faster and more efficient. Through our collaboration with Nuvion, we are extending that innovation to financial services, enabling passengers, brokers, and operators to expand globally with intelligent, always-on payment capabilities.”

From paying for fuel in Europe and compensating crews in the Middle East to receiving customer payments from North America, aviation businesses can now manage global financial transactions through a single integrated platform.

The partnership underscores Nuvion’s vision that companies operating internationally should be able to transfer money across borders with the same ease and speed that they conduct business worldwide.

More than 300 researchers, policymakers, and aviation leaders convened at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for the inaugural Florida Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Symposium, a two-day event focused on the future of next-generation aircraft and their potential to reshape passenger and cargo transportation while driving economic growth.

Held May 11-12 at the university’s Daytona Beach campus, the symposium was organized by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in partnership with Embry-Riddle. The gathering united experts from government, academia, and industry to discuss the safe integration, development, and economic opportunities associated with AAM technologies in Florida and across the United States. The event concluded with a live flight demonstration from BETA Technologies, an electric aerospace manufacturer.

Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Jared W. Perdue described the symposium as a major step toward Florida’s goal of becoming the nation’s first state to support commercial AAM operations. He emphasized that collaboration among industry stakeholders will be essential in accelerating the adoption of these emerging technologies and bringing them into Florida’s airspace.

Advanced Air Mobility encompasses a wide range of innovative aircraft, including autonomous drones and passenger air taxis. The sector is expected to expand rapidly, creating substantial economic opportunities and high-skilled jobs. With companies actively testing aircraft and federal agencies working on airspace integration, discussions at the symposium focused on technology, infrastructure, communications, air traffic management, safety, policy, workforce development, and security challenges surrounding AAM.

Participants also examined how AAM could generate economic value, aligning closely with the mission of Embry-Riddle’s David B. O'Maley College of Business to advance aviation and aerospace business education.

P. Barry Butler, president of Embry-Riddle, highlighted the university’s commitment to supporting collaborative efforts that will shape the future of aviation. He noted that the institution’s research capabilities and partnerships with industry and government strengthen Florida’s position as a leading center for AAM innovation.

Experts at the symposium explored the use of AAM technologies in emergency response, firefighting, rescue missions, and medical transportation. Discussions also covered various aircraft categories, including vertical- and short-takeoff systems, along with propulsion methods such as electric, hybrid, and hydrogen-powered technologies.

Panel sessions addressed practical aspects of implementing AAM, including the development of electrified infrastructure, construction of vertiports, integration into complex airspace systems, workforce training for pilots and maintenance crews, and public acceptance of new forms of air transportation. Additional discussions focused on operational strategies, economic development opportunities, infrastructure planning, and security considerations.

Government officials and aviation executives agreed that safety must remain the top priority as AAM operations move closer to commercialization. They also noted that the industry has the potential to modernize aviation by lowering noise levels, improving air traffic systems, advancing automation, and expanding air travel access in urban, suburban, and rural communities.

Speakers credited Ron DeSantis and Florida lawmakers for fostering a supportive environment for AAM advancement. Florida has already updated legislation to allow vertiports and electric charging systems to qualify for transportation funding and is home to key AAM infrastructure projects such as FDOT’s SunTrax Air facility, which includes the country’s first dedicated AAM test track.

Attendees also witnessed a live demonstration from BETA Technologies, which showcased its fully electric fixed-wing aircraft, the ALIA CTOL, at Embry-Riddle’s Flight Line near Daytona Beach International Airport. Participants additionally experienced an immersive electric vertical takeoff and landing simulator from Joby Aviation, a developer of electric passenger air taxis.

Jeremy Ernst, vice president for Research and Doctoral Programs at Embry-Riddle, said the symposium offered attendees a unique opportunity to explore strategies for integrating AAM technologies into existing transportation systems. He added that participants were able to engage directly with emerging technologies, learn about current research efforts, and connect with government and industry leaders to identify future opportunities for AAM expansion.

Embry-Riddle, FDOT, and the state of Florida plan to continue working alongside industry partners to accelerate the integration of Advanced Air Mobility through technological innovation, infrastructure development, policy planning, and workforce training initiatives aimed at shaping the future of aviation in the United States.
