Pogo Jet clarified plans to launch a charter service using Eclipse 500 very light jets in a registration statement for an initial public offering (IPO) submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In a Form S-1 filed on September 13, the company revealed many more details about its planned charter operation and outlined the risks that it faces in trying to get the service off the ground.

Pogo Jet isn’t proposing to be anything other than an ordinary whole-airplane charter service operating under FAR Part 135. Initial operations will serve the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Ohio Valley and the Carolinas. The company claims it “will seek to offer customers lower prices and more consistent service than that which is generally available from existing private aviation services.” While Pogo Jet has not placed a formal order for Eclipse 500s, the filing noted that the company has “negotiated the principal terms of our initial delivery of VLJs.” Pogo plans to be headquartered at Westover Metropolitan Airport, a joint-use civil-military airport in Chicopee, Mass.
