Companies to Provide Support, Increase of On-Demand
Flights
Company/members of the Air Taxi
Association (ATXA) have announced their 'full support' of DayJet
customers and communities following DayJet’s discontinuation
of passenger operations. SATSair, ImagineAir, and North American
Jet provide on-demand air transportation to all 60 of the affected
communities. The carriers feature a combined fleet of over 30
Cirrus SR-22 and Eclipse 500 aircraft and work alongside a number
of additional Air Taxi Association companies across the United
States.
The Air Taxi Association (ATXA) is an alliance of
next-generation air taxi providers that offer direct, on-demand
flight service at greatly reduced prices.
“DayJet shined a bright light upon the emerging
next-generation air taxi industry and it is our duty to help
affected passengers and communities,” stated Joe Leader,
President of the Air Taxi Association. “Immediately after
DayJet’s air operations stopped, our air taxi carriers in the
region stepped forward to help. SATSair, ImagineAir, and North
American Jet already serve these communities and have committed to
increase service to meet passenger needs.”
Affected passengers will be able to contact the air taxi
carriers in the region for support, ticket price matches and/or air
taxi flight discounts, and on-demand flight service available from
all 60 communities that DayJet served. Communities, businesses, and
customers needing air taxi service added to their area should
contact the Air Taxi Association at 770-855-7177. Special discount
and support will be provided by ATXA member companies that have
volunteered to provide special service to these affected
communities, businesses, and customers.
