Linear Air, the leading very light jet (VLJ) air-taxi operator,
today announced a new scheduled by-the-seat private air service
between Manassas, Virginia and Manteo, North Carolina. Manassas is
located just 15 miles south of Dulles International Airport, and
Manteo is centrally located in the popular summer destination of the
North Carolina Outer Banks. This new service offers the convenience
and comfort of private air travel with per-seat pricing to vacationers
and second homeowners in Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C.
wishing to avoid the six to eight hour drive to the Outer Banks.
The new service will kick-off June 29th -- just in time for the
4th of July holiday -- and will continue through Labor Day weekend.
Flights will depart on Fridays and Saturdays from the NextFlight
private terminal at the Manassas Regional Airport and arrive at the
Dare County Regional Airport in Manteo, NC. Return flights are
scheduled for Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Introductory pricing has
been set at $219 per person each way, including all fees and taxes.
"We are thrilled that Linear Air will be operating this new
scheduled per-seat private air service to the Outer Banks," said Tom
Long, Airport Director of the Dare County Regional Airport in Manteo,
NC. "Those visitors and homeowners flying with Linear Air will now be
able to avoid the six to eight hour drive from the DC area and instead
enjoy a comfortable hour and a half flight."
Linear Air operates the largest fleet of executive Cessna Grand
Caravan propjets in the country, featuring luxurious leather seating,
air conditioning, complimentary on-board refreshments and
highly-trained two pilot crews that have earned the company a Gold
rating from the industry's leading safety auditor, ARG/US. Linear Air
recently took delivery of its second aircraft to be based at the
Manassas Regional Airport, the company's Mid-Atlantic regional base of
operations. The company also bases aircraft at Hanscom Airport in
Bedford, MA in the Boston area and at the Westchester County Airport
in White Plains, NY.
Linear Air has ordered 30 Eclipse 500 very light jets (VLJs) from
leading VLJ manufacturer Eclipse Aviation and expects to take delivery
of its first Eclipse 500 this summer. The company is the only very
light jet air-taxi company already in operation, flying its fleet of
Cessna Grand Caravans as a proxy for the Eclipse 500 due to similar
operating costs and trip lengths.
"Overwhelming customer demand for our Caravan service in the
northeast and seasonally in the Caribbean has proven that short hop
air-taxi serves a need for thousands of travelers who want a direct,
convenient, yet affordable air travel alternative to the dysfunctional
service offered by the airlines these days," says William Herp,
President and CEO of Linear Air. "I'm confident we'll put smiles on
the faces of Mid-Atlantic travelers too, looking for a better way to
get to the Outer Banks and other regional destinations."
