UK air-taxi service ready for ‘the VLJ revolution’

Blink has set the bar pretty high for itself in pledging to radically overhaul the business model for air taxi services in Europe with a fleet of Cessna Citation Mustang very light jets (VLJs). Its goal is little short of achieving the Holy Grail for the executive charter market: drastically reducing empty leg positioning flights. This way it intends to offer prices that will range between 25 percent below and 25 percent above the combined business-class scheduled airline tickets for four passengers.

The UK based group has just taken delivery of the first of 45 Mustangs that it has on firm order and it expects to begin revenue flights as soon as next week. Blink is due to receive the remaining Mustangs at a rate of one per month over the next two-and-a-half years.
