NBAA has teamed up again with Blade Air Mobility to offer on-demand, per-seat helicopter flights between the 2024 BACE host Las Vegas Convention Center and static display site Henderson Executive Airport. The service returns “following incredibly strong demand” at past editions of BACE.
Maverick and Orbic Air will operate the flights. Helicopters being used for the per-seat trips can seat five passengers and offer an experience akin to future advanced air mobility flights, NBAA said.
“We are pleased to again partner with Blade to provide these unique and thrilling flights as part of NBAA-BACE,” said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “Based on the number of sold-out flights at previous editions of NBAA-BACE, it’s clear that business aviation is ready and eager to experience widespread availability of on-demand mobility options.”
Blade president Melissa Tomkiel said the charter provider is expanding its schedule and charter options to enhance the service. “This program highlights the efficiency of our services and underscores its practical applications as we transition from traditional rotorcraft to quiet, emission-free electric vertical aircraft.”
One-way prices for the 10-minute flight begin at $195 per seat for NBAA members and $245 for non-members. Full helicopter charter options are also available.
