Boca Raton, Gainesville, Lakeland, Pensacola and Tallahassee
Selected
During the 2006 Florida Aviation
Trades Association annual convention, DayJet has announced that
Boca Raton, Gainesville, Lakeland, Pensacola and Tallahassee will
be the first cities in the nation to experience the economic
benefits derived from its new point-to-point, on-demand regional
jet service. Selected for their strong business climate and limited
transportation infrastructure, these cities will be the first to
receive DayJet air transportation facilities, called
DayPorts™, which will serve as the “access ramps”
to the world’s first “Per-Seat, On-Demand” jet
service when it takes flight later this year.
The company is in final negotiations with fixed base operators
(FBO) and airports in each of the five cities to operate DayPort
facilities. Within 12 months of launch, DayJet expects to open an
additional four DayPorts in Florida and 12 more DayPorts across
three Southeastern states, connecting communities that today have
little or no scheduled air service.
DayJet chose the five Florida cities because each represents a
strong and growing local economy and business environment that is
underserved by the airline “hub and spoke” system. In
two cases, Boca Raton and Lakeland, DayJet will offer air service
where no scheduled airline service exists today. In Pensacola,
Tallahassee and Gainesville, DayJet “Per-Seat,
On-Demand” jet service will round out limited scheduled air
service with a complementary regional transportation option.
Together, these five Florida markets are expected to receive a
total $94 million annual economic benefit from the arrival of
DayJet in their communities within the first three years of
operation.
