Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Volato Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-3 (as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”), the base prospectus declared effective on September 30, 2025 (the “Base Prospectus”), and the prospectus supplement dated June 30, 2026 (the “Prospectus Supplement” and together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”) relating to the proposed offering by the Company of 11,038,767 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”). We understand that the Shares are proposed to be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 27, 2026, by and between the Company and certain investors (the “SPA”).

In our capacity as your counsel in connection with such registration, we are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the negotiation and execution of the SPA, and the authorization, issuance and sale of the Shares.

For purposes of this letter, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise, of such corporate records, organizational and governing documents, agreements, instruments, certificates of public officials or of officers or other representatives of the Company, the Registration Statement (including any exhibits thereto), and such other documents as we have deemed appropriate, relevant, or necessary as a basis for the opinions set forth below. We have also reviewed such questions of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate. In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us, the authenticity of all original documents, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission). As to all matters of fact, we have relied on the representations and statements of fact made in the documents so reviewed, and we have not independently established the facts so relied on. This opinion letter is given, and all statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.
