As a private pilot and technology executive who traveled frequently, I often asked myself “Should I drive or fly?” In my case, I could fly commercially, fly my own Cessna, or drive. This question was the genesis of WingTips. I recognized that trips of 100 to 300 miles were a travel wasteland. Airline service was no faster than driving from a total time measure, driving was often negatively impacted by traffic and weather, and my Cessna 172 wasn’t very fast and not suitable when the weather was less than sunny and clear. What is now called Regional Air Mobility became a passion for me. Assembling a stellar team of co-founders, WingTips developed a unique solution; on-demand, shared charter flights for short-distance trips. Powered by innovative, proprietary software, WingTips aggregates customer flight demand to create routes and schedules for shared charter flights – where customers pay only for the seats they need – and fly on a business aircraft professionally flown by a certified air carrier. Not only are WingTips flights 4x faster than driving or flying a commercial airline, they’re competitively priced and a fraction of the cost of a private plane. WingTips operates shared charter service in California, Nevada, Texas, and Arizona, and private charter nationally. By 2030, WingTips aims to provide shared service nationally.WingTips is fundraising on Wefunder.
