Blink is a British commercial aviation operation which provides private Jet travel using Cessna Citation Mustang Very Light Jets. The company began operations in London in May 2008.

History

Blink Limited was founded by Peter Leiman and Cameron Ogden, who met at Harvard Business School. Ogden is the son of Sir Peter Ogden, the founder of Computacenter. Leiman is a former investment banker. Four former British Airways executives are involved in operations.[1]

Fleet and Services

The company uses a fleet of six Cessna Citation Mustang aircraft to provide on-demand private jet travel. Its fleet of cheaper and lighter aircraft allows the company to provide services at a lower cost versus traditional private jet operators.[2] The jets seat four passengers and travel to destinations in Western Europe.
