Adding a photo of the actual aircraft would also be nice. From the website it's hard to tell whether this is a real business that's currently in operation, or just a site mock-up. Have you actually started flying yet? I can't tell.

And they should just come straight out and explain how the flights are operated. Sublease of the aircraft? Block-booking of seats on scheduled commercial services? Commercial charters?

The more they hide the less confidence people will have in them.

The contact name in the WHOIS appears to be an attorney.

I don't see any entry for JumpDriveAir or variations thereof in the ICAO operating agency list ( Doc 8585 ) so I assume they're not the carrier themselves.

I'd wager that at this moment they've not done much more than ideation and (I pray dearly) feasibility studies.

We won't even be able to start arguing whether this idea has wings until the first wheels leave the tarmac.

We're in the process of finalizing arrangements with our regional airline partners to operate the flights. We'll have our first flights within the next few months.

> We're in the process of finalizing arrangements...

I find it a bit misleading that you don't state this more clearly upfront.

> We'll have our first flights within the next few months.

... if everything goes as expected, if not then you'll be liable with a whole bunch of angry first customers.

Huh? We're signing up to be notified, we're not handing over cash. They'd be useful if they worked out, so I threw a disposable e-mail address in the hat.

If I get an e-mail in a couple of months that this works, awesome, I'll give them a spin. If not, oh well. But why would their customers be angry? It's pretty clear it's not an existing service yet.

We partner with Part 121 regional airline operators that operate our flights. We give them the schedule and they operate the flights on our behalf. We'll adjust the site so we do a better job of explaining how flights are operated. Thanks for the feedback.

[repiret]

If they were going to be their own operator, the probably wouldn't use a mix of CRJ and E-175, but instead have a single-type fleet for lower costs. My guess is that SkyWest or someone like that who already has a mixed fleet is operating the flights.

[dannyminutillo]

Yes, we're partnering with part 121 regional airline operators to operate our flights.

[Eugr]

Yes, I'm curious too. They are not in the list of certificated air carriers or commuter services on FAA website, not even in the applicants list.

[dannyminutillo]

We're not a direct air carrier. We act as an agent arranging travel with part 121 air carriers.

[dannyminutillo]

We haven't started flying yet. We plan on having our first flight within the next few months. We'll add some photos of the aircraft we use to the site. Thanks for the feedback.
