Says Business Is Growing As Traditional Charter Services
Decline
Air-taxi operator Linear Air told
ANN this week the company's revenue in February grew by 131% over
last year at its New England base. The company also announced it
has received approval from the Bahamian aviation authority to fly
passengers between the US and the Bahamas using its fleet of
Eclipse 500 jets.
Linear Air will fly from the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and
Southeast US to and from the Bahamas. This news follows the
company's announcement last week of the
formation of Eclipse Services and Support LLC
to support the 259 Eclipse 500 jets currently in operation
worldwide.
"While the fractionals, major airlines, and even low cost
airlines reported serious declines in February, demand for our
unique low-cost personal air service more than doubled in New
England," said Bill Herp, CEO of Linear Air. "Our fleet of Eclipse
500 jets offers customers the most economical personal air travel
option overall for both business and leisure trips. I'm proud to
announce our expansion to the Bahamas in response to customer
demand."
A trip from New York City to the Bahamas on one of Linear's
Eclipse VLJs costs $7,750, or $2,583 per person for three
passengers. Linear Air operates on-demand, on its customers'
schedules, and provides the entire aircraft to each customer as
their personal aircraft for a given trip.
Linear Air is the only FAA-certified commercial operator of the
Eclipse 500 on the east coast of the US.
