Topic Reading-Vol.1473-4/23/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Shared business flights are under way
Nothing is more expensive and wasteful than an empty flight. The crew is on board and paid, the fuel is burnt and the air is polluted. It is not only economically but also environmentally disastrous, isn’t it? If a jet is flown at all, it should be boarded by as many passengers as it can carry.
There are approximately 300 business jets in China. According to industry data, about 2,500 of their return flights carried no passengers in 2015. They could have flown at least 10,000 passengers if such opportunities had reached to those who needed or wanted to travel on the given days. And of course, the owners or operators of those business jets made economical returns.
Now a new app is developed to present such special opportunities to those who want to enjoy luxury and convenience. Sounds like air-Uber, doesn’t it?
Enjoy reading and thinking of taking a shared private jet.
