This brief update was given in November of 2007 by Kris Tuttle and Dennis Byron to cover recent developments in Web 2.0 software, SaaS, SOA, Open Source and the Cloud. The presentation also touched on how Microsoft, IBM Oracle, SAP, Google and Red Hat were effected.
This presentation is an update on financing Air Taxi companies in the public markets. It was given in March of 2008 while the markets were weak but still working. It covers the dynamics at that time. Since then several of the companies have had more trouble or gone out of business. Public markets have been closed.
This was a presentation focused on software technology trends given at the Computer Associates Council meeting held in Prague on May 15, 2007. There is a slant towards IT management and alignment of IT and business. Covers lots of ground as an update.

1. On-Demand Air Travel
Very Light Jets (VLJ) Impact the
Transportation Paradigm
February 20, 2008
2. Summary
• The market is developing to fill the gap between commercial travel and
full or partial private jet ownership.
There’s a clear service opportunity.
• Current demand in the northeast region of the US is estimated to be in
excess of 1,000 flights per day.
The market is here now.
• Existing on-demand air travel (ODAT) operators in the southeast region
of the US have been successful and are expanding operations.
Pioneers are doing well.
• Industry economics support strong returns under expected initial
conditions and offer accelerated returns as network effects develop.
Financial returns can be very attractive.
February 20, 2008
3. What is On-Demand Air Travel?
• Point to point – Typically using small airports.
• Unplanned – Clients set flight schedules.
• Small planes – One to four passengers.
• Flight times – One to two hours.
• Fares competitive with full-fare coach + time.
• No up-front or capital investment required.
• Other model options being pursued:
– Larger planes with bathrooms for longer trips.
– Pricing per-seat versus per-plane.
February 20, 2008
4. A Mix of Catalysts
• Commercial air travel challenges
– Increasing access time to/from airport
– Longer delays at check-in and security
– Disruptions and delays more common due to higher volumes.
• Urban centers have expanded geographically
– Less convenient to major airports
– More congestion on roads and rails
– State and local governments are funding solutions.
• New aircraft technologies (VLJs)
• Developing infrastructure for small airports (SATS)
• Greater demand for speed, privacy and security
February 20, 2008
5. Analog to Digital:
Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS)
• Proof of concept pioneered by NASA five year R&D
program from 2000 to 2005
• SATS extends safe, new technology-supported air
transportation beyond commercial airports to thousands
of small public use landing facilities nationwide
• VLJs combine economics and technology for SATS to
become new paradigm consumer air transport option
• VLJ on-demand air transport services considered critical
market enablers for advancing SATS vision
February 20, 2008
6. VLJ + SATS = Disruption
• VLJ on-demand air transport services within SATS
environment could recast consumer air transport
paradigm
– Shift consumer use and air traffic away from
commercial hub airports
– Reduce current capacity strain on ATC system at hubs
– Support local economic development around small
public use airports
– Resulting travel planning and economic ripple effects
from evolution of personal air transportation market
February 20, 2008
7. VLJ Market Growth Forecasts
• Multiple industry segments include air taxi,
charter, business aviation and owner-operators.
• Some prior forecasts:
– FAA: US market to see 400-500/year with 6,300
operating in 2020. (2007)
– Embraer: Between 5,200 to 5,700 by 2017.
– Honeywell: 6,500 by 2016.
• Current consensus thinking is around 800-900
deliveries per year through 2016.

13. Some Recent Adoption Signs
DayJet Expansion: New customer adds have increased from 20
to 50 per week. Corporate sale dynamics are solid (1 month
to trial, 75% ask for quotes, 50% fly, 35% repeat.)
SATSair Success: Using small piston planes the company has
found strong demand and raised prices. Business customers
take multiple planes. Flying 1,500 customers/month. Blind
dates. 26 planes. No advertising.
North American Jet: Very pleased with Eclipse planes. 100%
acceptance rates. Low DOC experience. Still some kinks.
Lots of planes with a handful of Eclipse 500’s.

18. VLJ Challenges
• Production – Orders and requests for VLJ planes have
expanded rapidly and scaling up has not been without setbacks.
• Certification – Meeting FAA requirements given limited
financial resources and timeframes is difficult.
• Financing – More robust financial options need to develop
over time to bring more VLJ options to the market.
• Flight Operations – Operators need to gain hours with the
new aircraft to move up the experience curve to optimize
operational efficiency.
It’s still early in VLJ market!
