© Air Taxi Association, Key Definition Next Generation Air Taxi Direct, on-demand air travel at competitively priced levels using technologically advanced aircraft and/or advanced business models to maximize efficiency. Filling the gap between traditional charter, commercial carriers, and driving with a return on time investment. Majority of next generation air taxi passengers today come from the roads and aircraft primarily utilize secondary airports. Image Source: © Popular Science, As example only. Not for reproduction.

© Air Taxi Association, Key Definitions Very Light Jet Very lights jets are defined as jet aircraft weighing 10,000 pounds of less, certified for single pilot operation, and possessing advanced avionics. VLJs utilize advanced avionics from leading manufacturers allowing aircraft to fly RNP and to be ADS-B ready for more efficient aircraft utilization.

© Air Taxi Association, FAA Update for Updated Estimate on VLJ Fleet Entry The actual number of VLJ deliveries in 2007 fell short of our assumption in last years forecast (143 vs 350). The current forecast assumes that VLJs will continue to enter the active fleet at a rate of aircraft a year, reaching 8,124 aircraft by 2025.

© Air Taxi Association, FAA Update for Selected Quotes on VLJ Growth  The relatively inexpensive twin-engine VLJs (priced between $1 and $2 million) are believed by many to have the potential to redefine the business jet segment by expanding business jet flying and offering performance that could support a true on- demand air-taxi business service.

For three states, road congestion is a serious issue for 1/2 of the population. Only seven states are congestion-“free” Imagine & Source: DayJet

The Hub-and-Spoke Challenge 2015: Planned additional capacity leaves six airports and four metropolitan areas that need additional capacity. 2025: With assumed NextGen concepts, 14 airports and eight metropolitan areas will need additional capacity. This analysis shows why additional solutions including NextGen are so important. Source: FAA: Capacity Needs in the National Airspace System, 2007 and DayJet.
