Airly is a proposed Australian membership-based private travel provider or virtual airline. Founded in December 2015, it has not yet commenced operations, and plans to do so in 2017.[1] The previous launch target was the third quarter of 2016.[2] 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.[3][4]

Business model

In order to reduce on-ground delays, Airly will operate out of less congested airports. Its business model is based on that of California's Surf Air, however with some modifications.[3] 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.[5] 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.[6]

Destinations

Airly plans to operate to the following destinations upon launch:[2]
