With the economy heading for the deck like a plugged mallard, we
had to wonder if this presents some opportunities or obstacles for
the ever-burgeoning Air-Taxi market.
With this question in mind, Aero-TV checked in with Joe Leader,
the President of the Air-Taxi Association. As an expert on very
light jets and next generation air taxis with the first business
Ph.D. dissertation worldwide on the subjects, Joe Leader has worked
with industry leaders in forming the Air Taxi Association (ATXA)
and now serves as its President. With more than a dozen years of
executive experience at both entrepreneurial and multi-billion
dollar companies, Leader uses the combination of his professional
and academic expertise to build bridges across the industry.
Leader has an air-taxi-focused research book entitled
“Takeoff Velocity: The Air Taxi and VLJ Impact on the Future
of Business Travel” on the market, where it is available via
retailers online including Amazon.com, Amazon.com.uk, Borders,
Target, and Walden Books.
The Air Taxi Association (ATXA) is leading the revolution in
personal air travel at greatly reduced prices – expanding the
market for air travel by taking people off our crowded roads and
into our open skies on next-generation aircraft. Backed by leading
air taxi companies, the Air Taxi Association’s mission is to
speed the adoption of the air taxi model so that more businesses,
individuals, and communities of all sizes can enjoy the benefits of
direct, personal flights. With over a dozen products and
services available, the Air Taxi Association is uniting the
industry, expanding the market for aviation, and helping shape the
future of air travel.
The Air Taxi Association (ATXA) and its founding members fully
support the cornerstone associations of our industry. Since
ATXA does not currently engage in lobbying or government regulatory
work, these groups provide critical efforts for the success of our
industry. The Air Taxi Association encourages its members to
support and join these pivotal aviation organizations on the
right.
