Airly is an Australian membership-based private travel provider or virtual airline. It was founded in December 2015. The company plans to use Beechcraft King Air 350s and a Bombardier Learjet 45 leased from another company; and will operate using the lessor's air operator's certificate.[1][2] Airly recently launched their 'JetShare' app, which allows for booking of private jet and helicopter flights.[3]

Business model

In order to reduce on-ground delays, Airly operates out of less congested airports. The JetShare app allows for flight and seat availability to be accessed at a varying amount of time prior to the flight, depending on the operator.[3]

Its main business model (which Airly planes to initiate in 2018) is based on that of California's Surf Air, however with some modifications.[1] It targets frequent fliers and corporate travellers, who can buy an all-you-can-fly subscription for an initial joining cost of $1000 and a payment of $2550 per month for the cheapest membership option.[4] Airly claims that by using less busy airports and flying a Learjet 45, it will save its members nearly two hours per round trip CBD-to-CBD flying Sydney to Melbourne in comparison to the "commercial airlines,"[5] a blanket term it uses to refer to traditional passenger airlines.
