KinectAir is today launching a brand-new model for regional\nair mobility that will allow people to use a smartphone app to order a flight\ndirectly from the nearest airfield to anywhere within a 1,000-mile radius. A\nflexible on-demand flight network.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

KinectAir is bringing the on-demand experience to aviation\nby using the combination of an AI enabled app and smaller format\nstate-of-the-art aircraft to access 10x more local airfields. As one of the\nlast major industries to be disrupted, when implemented this low infrastructure\nnetwork will revolutionize where, when and how we fly to create a more\nsustainable ecosystem for regional flying based on actual demand.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airlines are broken, and the hub and spoke model is more\nunattractive to passengers than ever. Billions in government bailouts will\nlikely end in failure. Worse, healthy demand for regional air travel is being\nignored at the exact time people want the choice to live and work wherever they\nwant and stay connected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Evans, CEO KinectAir said, \u201cThe way people move is\nchanging but flying has not evolved. People are tired of fixed airline\nschedules and crowded airport hubs. It will blow people’s minds if they can\ncontrol their flight path like this. That\u2019s why we have reimagined air travel\nas a flexible on-demand flight network, to move people to where they need to\nbe. And put the joy back into flying!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan has been working on his dream of an air mobility\nsolution for the last two years, ever since he sold his drone software company\nto Verizon in the USA. He has since attracted a global team to do it and plans\nto launch in the USA and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He continued, \u201cMore than ever, we want to fly to see the\npeople, places and communities we need in our lives – just more selectively.\nWith KinectAir we avoid major airport hubs and waiting lines, cut out airport\ncommutes and deliver a short, safe, and hygienic boarding experience to get\nairborne in minutes. In bringing networked regional air connectivity, we\u2019re\nbuilding community around our vision.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For millions, the choice of smaller fuel-efficient aircraft\nwill be more affordable and accessible than the current private jet charter\nprices. So, flying direct will be an option for people who thought it was not.\nSaving them countless hours of driving or mixed travel using trains and hotel\nstays to go the same distances we can fly in under 2 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

KinectAir\u2019s product and aircraft mix in the USA, and soon\nUnited Kingdom and Europe, will include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • KinectAir Anywhere – The Cirrus SR22; a 4-seater\nperfect for quick trips under 2 hours or 300 miles. <\/li>
  • KinectAir Anywhere – The Pilatus PC-12, a Swiss\nbuilt and engineered 8-passenger aircraft known for both its comfort and\nversatility. Ideal for flying to the ski slopes, business or vacation up to 4\nhours or 1,000 miles. <\/li>
  • KinectAir Together – The Dash-8, an 80-seater\ntwin turboprop with a range of 1,500 miles; to service flexible regional point\nto point routes from aggregated demand, particularly in the UK.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    In our goal to democratize air travel and move from beta testing to an operational carrier, we are equity crowdfunding for the first $1 Million capital at www.Wefunder.com\/KinectAir starting from June 9th, 2020. Since we are bringing KinectAir first to regional air travel markets, we believe we should grow KinectAir with the very people we fly and want to see the company blossom to become a truly global community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, KinectAir already plans to move to a cleaner and more sustainable future for aviation when the time comes. Our model uses the most fuel-efficient aircraft today and is designed to be the first to give passengers the ability to fly hybrid and electric by 2023, years ahead of the competition. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
