VLJ AIR TAXIs Fly Into View

With any new idea comes controversy. Very Light Jet Air Taxis are no exception! How much will they charge? When will they be in my town? How do I hail one? Where will they park? Goodness sakes. Read on...

Very Light Jet Magazine exceeded 4000 visitors in one day last week and many of you valued readers sent in questions regarding the above. This week I was in attendance and co-sponsoring the AWST VLJ conference here in West Palm Beach and getting answers to these and other burning questions.

Here is my exclusive one-on-one interview with Imagine Air CEO Aaron Sohacki, conducted at the conference: Read our Air Taxis page for more!

My next VLJ stop is the WATS conference in Orlando June 11-14 where I will be moderating a panel of experts on the subject of VLJ flight training.

My personal travel plans are to use Air Taxi services for my commute from West Palm Beach to Lousiville for commuting to my job as a pilot. This will happen as soon as their service areas inlcude Kentucky. My time is worth more than another minute spent waiting for a connecting flight at a Atlants’s Hartsfield eating Quiznos and drinking $3.00 Cokes!

My feature VLJ article “Speed of Light” is now in print at all Million Air FBO locations - France, Canada, throughout the US, and in Puerto Rico. May/ June Million Air Magazine. Check it out! For locations: www.millionair.com

See you all on the road- probably at the Atlanta airport. Look for the guy in the airline uniform at or near the Quiznos.
