What Top Mobility does

TOFF Mobility (doing business as Top Mobility) is a Seoul-based, privately held electric aircraft and sustainable air mobility company founded in 2023. It distributes certified electric aircraft (Pipistrel Velis Electro and Diamond Aircraft eDA40) in South Korea, operates eco-friendly airline services targeting Regional Air Mobility (RAM) routes such as Yangyang–Ulleungdo where traditional airlines are impractical, and provides supporting infrastructure including airport electric charging systems and large cargo drone delivery (including the ZC500 platform). The company also runs a Carbon Mileage Platform that tracks and rewards carbon reduction from sustainable flights, and launched pilot training services in March using the Pipistrel Velis Electro from Yangyang International Airport.

The business model combines hardware distribution (electric aircraft sales with after-market maintenance and fire-prevention solutions), subscription/recurring revenue from air mobility services (slated to begin in 2025), pilot training fees, managed services for airport charging and cargo delivery, and potential data monetization through the Carbon Mileage Platform. Go-to-market is a hybrid of direct enterprise sales to regional and local governments and aviation partners and channel partnerships for aircraft distribution, supplemented by event-driven demand generation at industry exhibitions such as the 2024 Korea Drone Expo. Funding is at seed stage, with two 2024 seed rounds from Sopung Ventures and Next Dream Angel Club, an earlier grant from the Gangwon Creation Economic Innovation Center, and approximately $518K from Korea's TIPS program in October 2024. The company has five registered patents in South Korea and was the first to introduce electric aircraft in the country, achieving a certified flight in January 2026.
