NBAA-BACE 2024BLADE flights return to NBAA-BACE, highlighting value of on-demand transport |
The National Business Aviation Association has announced a renewed partnership with Blade Air Mobility, Inc. to provide the efficiency of on-demand aerial transportation to attendees of the 2024 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas, NV.
Following incredibly strong demand at previous editions of NBAA-BACE, BLADE will again offer per-seat helicopter flights throughout the show between the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive Airport (HND), home to the NBAA-BACE aircraft display.
Operated by Orbic Air, each flight seats up to five passengers. These safe and convenient flights also provide attendees with an opportunity to experience the benefits of on-demand aerial mobility, as the industry nears the commercial introduction of electric-powered advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft.
“We are pleased to again partner with BLADE to provide these unique and thrilling flights as part of NBAA-BACE,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “Based on the number of sold-out flights at previous editions of NBAA-BACE, it’s clear that business aviation is ready and eager to experience widespread availability of on-demand mobility options.”
“BLADE is excited to continue our partnership with the NBAA. This year, we have expanded our schedule and charter options, enhancing our helicopter service between the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive Airport ” said BLADE President Melissa Tomkiel.
“This program highlights the efficiency of our services and underscores its practical applications as we transition from traditional rotorcraft to quiet, emission-free electric vertical aircraft.”
