Former executive of Sony and Warner Music Group, Rob Wiesenthal comes form a long line of professionals in the entertainment industry and has always loved aviation. That is why he created a company called Blade, where wealthy individuals can hire a helicopter or a seaplane rides from New York City to the Hamptons, Nantucket, Jersey Shore, and Miami simply by using an app. There's also the option to take Blade Bounce, a quick, five-minute ride to any of the New York area airports.
Wiesenthal said this way his customers save a lot of time. Distance which can be taken for three hours by car, by flying can be reached in 30 minutes. He further added that 75% of new clients have not boarded a helicopter. Most likely because of the price that ranges somewhere between $ 6,000 to hire one. With the new prices which Rob Wiesenthal offers, this luxury is now available to a larger community.
Ticket prices start from $ 494 to $ 695 to fly from Manhattan to the Hamptons. Wealthier clients can hire the private jet Blade One, which can take them to Miami when ticket price is about $ 2.200. During the flight, customers can choose between different types of wines and other luxury drinks which makes the ride much more favorable and memorable.
"My inspiration for Blade departs from the days when I was a little kid and my parents would dressed me up before we get on the plane. That was the golden age of aviation - the 60s and early 70s, when geting on the jet plane was a big job and an adventure. That is what I am trying to recreate now. I want my clients to remember this trip and thanks to our technology and our user base, it is now available to a wider range of people. "
