Description:

On-Demand Air Service (ODAS) is an emerging potential new mode of transportation, which commonly utilizes the Very Light Jet (VLJ) class of aircraft (maximum occupancy of 6 persons and range around 1000 nm). The mature and often stressed hub-and-spoke system of the commercial airlines and capacity constraints on the major hub airports; combined with a steady rise in air transportation demand over long term, has resulted in an increase in average trip time for random origin-destination pairs. Unlike scheduled air service (operated by today's airlines), ODAS will be similar to a taxi service in that it would be: 1) available for use when a customer needs it, 2) accessible at more locations (e.g. local airports) closer to where people live and work, and 3) operate from point-to-point (no stops). The development of widely available, affordable ODAS in a regional setting could have profound effects on regional economies, demographics, land use, quality of life, and shifts in business activity.
