Airlines/aviation - Smyrna, Tennessee, United States
Social Flights is a revolutionary idea whose time has come. Air travel has become a totally inefficient, painful experience. But, more than that, the entire experience – from start to finish – is anti-social. The stress of travelling on scheduled airlines is opening up opportunities for the private aviation industry to innovate and expand its market to the masses rather than to only the few. Social Flights' innovative initiative is aimed at expanding the utilization of private aircraft to the masses. Social Flights is a technological platform that enables people to self-aggregate "crowds" to collectively buy up seats on a variety of private jets. Using social technology, Social Flights will enable individuals to buy a seat on a private jet and collaborate with others whose intent is to travel to specific locations during similar time frames and locations. Commercial airlines serve 500 airports while private aviation serves 5,000. By utilizing social technology, we can now match traveler intents with aircraft, locations, events and groups of people with similar intents. In other words, by giving the market the ability to self-aggregate intents, relations and travel plans, we can reduce the cost of private aviation and make it available to a larger market. Call it airlines on-demand. The control rests with the consumer rather than the operator.
