European and American air-taxi providers have formed a dedicated trade body designed to establish benchmark operating standards across the fledgling per-seat, on-demand charter industry. "The Air Taxi Association represents the next evolution in air travel," says its president Joe Leader. "This is about getting people off crowded roadways and into our open skies on direct flights." The association will work "to set industry standards that benefit all of aviation and air taxi service worldwide," he says. Founding members are Dayjet, Earthjet, ImagineAir, JetBird, JumpJet, Linear Air, TaxiJet Spain and SATSair .
