Launch of World's First "Per-Seat, On-Demand" Jet Service Just
Weeks Away
OK... from here on out, things start to REALLY get
interesting.
DayJet has received authorization from the FAA to use Eclipse
500 VLJs in its operations. DayJet Services is the holder of an
on-demand air carrier certificate from the FAA authorizing
operations under Part 135 of the FAA's regulations. The company is
preparing to use its fleet of VLJs to launch the world's first
"Per-Seat, On-Demand" jet service.
"This milestone is the culmination of more than five years of
dedicated work to develop the world's first fully automated fleet
operations system," said Ed Iacobucci (pictured below, center, with
Eclipse's Vern Raburn and Nancy Iacobucci), DayJet president
and CEO.
"We are incredibly grateful to the dedicated FAA teams that have
worked alongside DayJet to reach this critical moment in our
company's history."
In the coming weeks, DayJet will begin activating member
accounts via its online reservation system, allowing members to
book reservations and fly. The company will gradually increase its
active member base as it expands its operations and its VLJ fleet.
This measured approach enables DayJet to monitor the daily progress
of operations and to ensure the highest levels of customer service
and fleet availability.
DayJet intends to pioneer a new type of regional travel, what
they term "Per-Seat, On-Demand" jet service that is uniquely
tailored to accommodate the flight time requested by each customer
and priced at a modest premium to full-fare coach airfares.
Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, DayJet has developed this new
industry's first real-time operations system.
