Northeast firm is VLJ pioneer

CONCORD, Mass. , May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Linear Air is the first Very Light Jet (VLJ) air taxi company to offer travelers the ability to easily check pricing and book flights online. The company's new booking tool provides an instant reservation for a specific aircraft in the Linear Air fleet, while the Quick Quote (TM) technology generates pricing and flight information. The newly integrated Quick Quote (TM) technology is one more addition to the many conveniences that Linear Air offers travelers.

"Linear Air's goal is to make air travel as pain-free as possible for our customers -- starting with the booking process," said William Herp , President and CEO of Linear Air. "Now customers can go online and access aircraft pricing and availability with minimal effort and time involved."

Linear Air utilizes ten times more airports than traditional commercial airlines by flying in and out of regional airports. This large selection of airports lets Linear Air better accommodate clients' air travel needs. With changes in air travel, regional airports have been found to be more accessible for the traveler and less congested than commercial airports.

Linear Air's commitment to technology is not only reflected in the company's new pricing and booking tool, but is also reflected in its fleet, which includes the advanced Eclipse E500. Using less fuel than other jets, the eco-friendly, twin engine Eclipse E500 offers jet aircraft performance at an unprecedented lower overall cost. That savings is directly passed on to the Linear Air customer.
