WASHINGTON, Oct. 12,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Attendees at the 2023 NBAA
Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) will once
again be able to experience a breathtaking firsthand look at the
future of on-demand air transportation through NBAA's partnership
with Blade Air Mobility, Inc. (BLADE) (NASDAQ: BLDE).
BLADE is offering by-the-seat helicopter flights operated by
Orbic Air between the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and
Henderson Executive Airport (HND), home to the NBAA-BACE aircraft
display. Seats can be booked on the BLADE mobile app.
Each flight will seat up to six passengers and fly over traffic
while passengers enjoy aerial views of the legendary Las Vegas
Strip.
"In 2021, every seat was sold out for BLADE flights between the
convention center and the outdoor aircraft display, demonstrating
the excitement for on-demand urban air mobility," said NBAA
President and CEO Ed Bolen. "We're
thrilled to work with BLADE again to provide this unique
opportunity to NBAA-BACE attendees."
"We are pleased to partner with NBAA to provide point-to-point
helicopter service between the Las Vegas Convention Center and
Henderson Executive Airport throughout this year's convention,"
said BLADE President Melissa
Tomkiel. "This program not only demonstrates the efficiency
of urban air mobility, but also highlights use cases that are
relevant as we transition from conventional rotorcraft to quiet,
emission-free electric vertical aircraft."
