Surf Air Mobility Corp., a membership-based private plane operator, has secured a $200 million funding commitment from Global Emerging Markets Group for when it goes public.

The Los Angeles-based company plans to go public in coming months through either a merger with a special purpose acquisition company or a direct listing, Chief Executive Officer Sudhin Shahani said Thursday in an interview. An initial public offering is also on the table, he said.
