Blade is the leading helicopter passenger service in
the world, with operations in the United States and Europe. The Company’s
asset-light model, coupled with its exclusive passenger terminal infrastructure
and proprietary technologies, will enable a seamless transition from
helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft to Joby’s (NYSE:JOBY) Electric
Vertical Aircraft, enabling lower-cost air mobility that is both quiet and
emission-free.
From the news:
Under the partnership, Flyte's Cirrus Vision Jet fleet and
charter offerings will be featured on Blade's platform, providing Blade
passengers with access to a modern, efficient, and cost-effective private
aviation solution for regional travel.
The partnership is expected to expand Flyte's visibility
among a large and highly targeted audience of premium aviation consumers
already utilizing technology-enabled air mobility solutions.
Flyte believes its Cirrus Vision Jet
fleet is uniquely positioned to complement Blade's customer base, which has
historically focused on premium, time-sensitive regional travel solutions.
"We're excited to partner with Blade and make Flyte's
Vision Jet fleet available through one of the industry's most recognized
aviation platforms," said Marc Sellouk, Founder and CEO of Flyte.
"This relationship broadens our distribution, introduces Flyte to a wider
customer base, and represents another important step in executing our long-term
growth strategy."
The Cirrus Vision Jet offers a differentiated private
aviation experience featuring advanced safety technologies, including the
Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) and Safe Return Emergency Autoland,
making it one of the most technologically advanced aircraft operating within
the regional aviation marketplace.
Flyte continues to execute on its strategy of building a
scalable regional air mobility platform through strategic partnerships, fleet
expansion, technology integration, and increased consumer awareness
initiatives. The company believes partnerships with established aviation brands
can help accelerate growth while expanding access to premium travel customers
throughout the United States.
The
agreement is non-exclusive and subject to the terms and conditions of the
parties' agreement.
Flyte (www.flyflyte.com) is a private aviation company
operating a growing fleet of Cirrus Vision Jets and providing efficient
short-haul travel throughout the United States. Through fixed pricing, online
booking, and a technology-enabled operating platform, Flyte delivers a faster,
safer, and more convenient alternative to traditional private charter travel.
Flight
operations are conducted through Flyte's wholly owned subsidiary, Ponderosa
Air, LLC, an FAA-certified Part 135 air carrier.
Flyte’s long-term strategy:
• An operating regional aviation network rather than a
concept.
• A growing base of premium customers.
• Experience delivering luxury short-haul air travel.
• A scalable operating platform.
• Commercial partnerships that expand distribution and
customer access.
• A business model that can evolve alongside future
aviation technologies.
The acquisition of Blade was announced on
September 10, 2025. Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE:JOBY),
a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service and
Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER),
the largest rideshare and delivery platform in the world, announced the plan to
bring Blade’s air mobility services to the Uber app as soon as next year,
following Joby’s recent acquisition of Blade’s passenger business.
In 2024, Blade flew more than 50,000
passengers across a network of routes in the New York metropolitan area and
Southern Europe, including high-traffic destinations such as Newark Liberty
International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, Manhattan and the
Hamptons.
“We’re excited to introduce Uber customers
to the magic of seamless urban air travel,” said JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO
of Joby. “Integrating Blade into the Uber app is the natural next step in our
global partnership with Uber and will lay the foundation for the introduction
of our quiet, zero-emissions aircraft in the years ahead. Together with Uber’s
global platform and Blade’s proven network, we’re setting the stage for a new
era of air travel worldwide.”
Andrew Macdonald, President and COO of Uber
commented, "Since Uber’s earliest days, we’ve believed in the power of
advanced air mobility to deliver safe, quiet, and sustainable transportation to
cities around the world. By harnessing the scale of the Uber platform and
partnering with Joby, the industry leader in advanced air mobility, we’re
excited to bring our customers the next generation of travel."
Getting the
market’s attention on July 20th, Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) unveiled their jointly-developed autonomous VTOL aircraft
platform, built to serve both defense and commercial applications. Anduril
showcased the defense variant, Thunder, a Group 5 autonomous attack rotorcraft
specifically designed to multiply the combat power of current and
next-generation crewed attack and assault aircraft.
The stock had its best run in a year on the news with CNBC reporting, ‘Archer stock rips 20% higher as company unveils military
craft with Anduril.’
Together, the two companies have built what they believe to
be a step change in vertical lift: a new class of autonomous aircraft with the
speed, range, payload and operating cost that defense and commercial missions
demand. Archer will announce its first commercial partners for the platform
later this week.
Thunder builds on a dual-use platform developed by Archer
and Anduril, bringing the commercial VTOL sector's rapid innovation in electric
propulsion and rotor design directly into a clean sheet configuration.
A series hybrid-electric powertrain enables the aircraft to
achieve significant range and endurance, while still maintaining the necessary
precision to closely optimize power through the full range of flight
conditions. Meanwhile, dual tiltrotors vary rotor RPM to maintain efficiency
across flight regimes, reducing power demand and fuel burn in cruise and
minimizing acoustic signature to enhance survivability during low-altitude
ingress.
The platform’s tiltrotor configuration combines vertical takeoff
and landing (VTOL) with efficient wingborne cruise, enabling runway-independent
operations from austere locations without the range constraints of traditional
rotorcraft.
Anduril and Archer have configured the dual-use platform to
bring modular, heavy payloads to an array of commercial and defense
applications. It leverages years of development and flight testing on air
taxis, highlighting Archer’s proven ability to rapidly design, manufacture and
fly advanced VTOL aircraft platforms.
“From raw performance to producibility, harnessing the best
technologies from the commercial eVTOL market for defense is central to how
Thunder will deliver operational value to our customers. The clean-sheet,
dual-use platform that we’ve built with Archer truly represents a step change
in capability,” said Shane Arnott, SVP of Maneuver Dominance at Anduril.
“This mission required a clean sheet design, built from the
ground up to meet the needs of modern commercial and defense applications. We
couldn’t simply tweak our existing aircraft. Instead, we took a bold first
principles approach alongside Anduril to develop what we believe is the most
sophisticated vertical lift aircraft ever made,” said Adam Goldstein, Founder
and CEO of Archer.
In
other aviation stock news, Airbus SE (OTC:EADSY) gained in Monday’s trading
following company news. Airbus reported: SMBC Aviation Capital, a leading
global aviation finance platform, has placed a firm order for an additional 65
A321neo and 35 A320neo aircraft. The agreement was finalised at the Farnborough
International Airshow.
"This
significant new order will give our airline customers access to a continuous
delivery pipeline of the latest technology A320neo family aircraft into the
mid-2030s," said Peter Barrett, CEO of SMBC Aviation Capital. "We are
pleased to build on the deep partnership we have established with Airbus over
the last 25 years, and this latest order reflects our confidence in the
long-term demand for the A320neo family. Today's announcement reflects SMBC
Aviation Capital’s long-term commitment to supporting our airline customers,
positioning us as the leading global aviation finance platform, ready to meet
their ever-evolving needs."
As the industry evolves, investors and
consumers may increasingly evaluate not only the companies building the next
generation of aircraft, but also the companies building the networks those
aircraft may one day serve.
