Adding its Cirrus Vision Jet fleet to Blade’s platform should expand Flyte’s visibility among a large and highly targeted audience of premium aviation consumers already utilising technology-enabled air mobility solutions.
Fly Flyte, the regional air mobility subsidiary of Catheter Precision, has partnered with Blade Urban Air Mobility in order to expand customer reach, increase booking opportunities, improve aircraft utilisation and accelerate awareness of the Flyte platform. Its Cirrus Vision Jet fleet and charter offerings will be featured on Blade’s platform. The fleet is operated by wholly-owned subsidiary Ponderosa Air.
“We’re excited to partner with Blade and make Flyte’s Vision Jet fleet available through one of the industry’s most recognised aviation platforms,” says founder and CEO Marc Sellouk. “This relationship broadens our distribution, introduces Flyte to a wider customer base and represents another important step in executing our long-term growth strategy.”
The Cirrus Vision Jet features advanced safety technologies such as the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) and Safe Return Emergency Autoland. It will complement Blade’s customer base which has historically focused on regional helicopter passenger services.
