Shaircraft CEO, James Butler, recently was interviewed by the Examiner newspaper on the prospects for success of burgeoning air taxi services such as Linear Air, a new service operating out of Manassas, Virginia.
“Certainly the arrival of very light jets has spurred a lot of interest [in the…] air taxi shor[t]-hop business,” Butler said. “So theoretically there is a market for it, especially in the Northeast where people have second homes or otherwise want to fly to places that aren’t serviced by hub airports.”
