The idea of TapJets is not a complicated one; passengers can link up with the pilots of private jets via an app. About 10,000 consumers have signed up to the initiative so far. Almost 500 flights have taken place through the scheme.
The chief executive of TapJets, Eugene Kesselman, is clear about the rationale behind his start-up. He said:
“In a nutshell, there are 1.1 million private jet flights per year. That's about 3,000 flights a day. Some of those are empty planes with no passengers and just pilots, polluting the air for no reason.”
Users of the service have the opportunity to give positive ratings to safe planes or responsible pilots. A customer in Houston has the capacity to book a flight in under a minute, and it is possible use Bitcoins to purchase flights.
At the moment, the TapJets app does not facilitate the setting of prices, which differentiates the service from that of Uber. Nonetheless, Kesselman is committed to helping his customers to get affordable flights. The inventory of charter flights can be visited using the technology, and connecting services, such as other transport arrangements, may also be secured using TapJets.
Printing services can assist new businesses like this one when they are looking to get noticed.
