KinectAir Chooses Electra eSTOL for PNW Network

Booking Operator Sees Gap in Regional Connectivity Perfect for eSTOL Aircraft

KinectAir provides an easy, streamlined system to book charter and advanced mobility services, and their work so far has shown an underutilized network of 5,200 regional airports and strong demand for sub-500 mile service.

The partnership between Electra and KinectAir will aim to provide simple, easy, convenient access to point-to-point air travel by leveraging a combination of flexible infrastructure and underutilized airports. KinectAir CEO Jonathan Evans said that the majority of current customers ae looking to avoid the hassle of larger international airports. “KinectAir makes booking private air travel easier and more affordable through our smartphone app with AI-backed route dispatch and demand generation capabilities, thereby reducing empty legs and lowering prices. Out of over 40,000 itineraries entered into our software, 83 percent of customers want to bypass the largest 30 airport hubs in order to use only point-to-point airport pairs."

“We are presenting today what the future advanced air mobility market will look like, with the four- and eight-seat aircraft in our app. We have found that our customers book an average flight distance of 215 miles, so we know from our software data that the sweet spot for regional air mobility is between 100 and 300 miles,” added Evans. “Electra’s eSTOL will bring an even more affordable aircraft into the hands of our customers with the range needed to fly profitable city pairs. Once Electra enters service, KinectAir’s software will likely be serving per seat on-demand bookings that will open up regional air mobility en masse in the same way ridesharing did for black car services.”

“Electra’s hybrid-electric eSTOL aircraft provides a better way of moving people and cargo on regional routes – faster and cleaner than alternative means of travel. Convenient access to a regional air mobility network for passengers is crucial to scaling the service,” said Marc Ausman, Electra’s Chief Product Officer. “KinectAir provides that missing link, and we will work closely with the KinectAir team to integrate Electra’s eSTOL into their extended regional air mobility network.”
