Our take
BLADE is a carbon-neutral urban air transport provider working with partners to provide jet, seaplane, and SUV travel to the leisure, business, and medical markets. The company has partnered with Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions to shift their air-taxi services onto electrical vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL) for all future flights, starting in 2026.
BLADE are long-standing participants in the air-taxi business, but eVTOL could prove a real gamechanger. With the likes of Boeing, Hyundai, and Toyota pouring investment into developing eVTOL vehicles, air taxi services look set to soon become an economically viable and attractive prospect.
A company that has the infrastructure in place to deploy these vehicles could stand to lead a pioneering new field. BLADE’s public merger with Experience Investment has helped it continue expanding in this direction. Post-IPO investment from RedBird Capital in 2023 will further bolster the company as it develops its brand and strengthens its core routes.
