DayJet Co-Founder Set to Attempt Comeback

AtlantisRoad Corporation Announced

Nancy Iacobucci, co-founder DayJet, the defunct, Boca Raton, Florida-based provider of on-demand jet travel and one-time operator of Eclipse 500 very-light-jets, has emerged from obscurity with an eye toward creating a new air-charter sector she describes as per-seat-on-demand.

The means by which Iacobucci seeks to actualize her latest vision is AtlantisRoad Corporation, a start-up formed in 2017 and consisting, presently, of a newly-created website which purports: “Our mission is to empower a new category of regional air service created for business and branded per-seat-on-demand.”

The website continues: “We are not a private charter, fractional ownership, membership club, jet card or public charter.”

AtlantisRoad sets forth its customers will book flights via an app comprising a two-step process consisting of on-demand, by which users specify where and when they wish to fly, and buy-the-seat, which cryptically offers “purchase the seat, affordably.”

AtlantisRoad asserts it will usher in “a new age of regional air travel.”

According to the AtlantisRoad website the per-seat-on-demand model “is sold by the seat according to the business travelers schedule, flying point-to-point from where they need it, when they need it, non-stop to where they want to go, affordably.”

The website further contends the company “is building a real-time, demand-driven logistics optimization software platform that enables this radically new category of on-demand regional air service.”

AtlantisRoad intends that its seat prices will be competitive with business-class travel and well below the rates typical of private jet charter operators.

AtlantisRoad’s website alludes to partnership with the Honda Aircraft Company, stating: “In partnership with Honda Aircraft Company and its family of aircraft, the service will initially deploy the HondaJet, a state–of–the–art Very Light Jet that features best-in-class passenger comfort, safety, performance, economics, and sustainability.”

AtlantisRoad has a staff of 14 ranging in consequence from product managers to software architects to a CTO. Eight of the company’s employees, including Iacobucci, were formerly on DayJet’s roster.

Founded by Iacobucci’s late husband, Edward E. Iacobucci, DayJet, prior to its demise, had ordered north of two-hundred Eclipse 500s. Hampered by the Eclipse jet’s developmental delays and hamstrung by the 2007-2008 financial crisis, DayJet shuttered its operation in September 2008.
