Air Taxi Service

One of the most exciting this about having a pilot's license is the ability to fly to smaller airports, closer to a final destination. Large airlines don't and can't fly to smaller cities like St. George, UT, Lake Havasu, AZ, Kingman, AZ, Victorville, CA, Palmdale, CA, etc. This leaves a under served market for people to get to their final destinations. Additionally, it is much faster and more convient to fly closer to a final destination than to go to a large commercial airport and still have to drive 1-2 hours to get to the final destination.

There are plenty of jet services that will take you to those locations for a couple of thousand dollars, but for the middle-class, that is unaffordable. In many parts of the country, there are air taxi services. I have not found an air-taxi service here in Las Vegas that specializes in transportation and not scenic flights. My question is whether or not there is a market for air taxi in small general aviation planes. Please comment and let me know what you think.

So I highly recommend out John Giles's air taxi out of North Las Vegas. The website is www.westwindaviation.net and John will be glad to hear of your interest. His service is for hire as a true air taxi. Happy flying, pilotgeoff@gmail.com
