Openair

What is OpenAir?

OpenAir is an air carrier that offers "personal air service". We provide the advantages of charter travel without the prohibitive costs: an air travel alternative that is comfortable, efficient, and cost effective.

OpenAir offers regional point-to-point air transportation that is safe, convenient and cost effective. OpenAir eliminates the frustrations of crowded airline terminals, long security lines and lengthy connections. In addition, OpenAir utilizes numerous airports that the airlines don't, making it exceptionally convenient for rural destinations and multiple-stop schedules.


How does OpenAir differ from a major airline?

While airlines restrict you to their schedule and limited destinations, OpenAir allows you to fly wherever, whenever. Forget airport hassles such as parking, ticket counters, security lines, flight delays, and cancellations. OpenAir can have you in the plane and off the ground within 15 minutes of parking your car.


How does OpenAir differ from a charter service?

OpenAir gives you the time savings of charter without the excessive costs and other drawbacks. We don’t penalize you with fuel surcharges or other hidden costs. With OpenAir, you are also guaranteed the newest and most advanced aircraft with safety features you will not find on most charter planes.


In what ways will OpenAir save me time over conventional travel?

OpenAir can fly you directly to one of the more than 3000 public airports from across the United States. Major airlines only take you into larger cities, leaving you to drive the rest of the way to your final destination. OpenAir allows for one-day trips with no need for overnight hotel stays. Our efficient point-to-point air travel service allows you to take care of business and still make it home in time for dinner with your friends or family.


How much time will I save over conventional airline travel?

You will save an average of 6 hours per round trip over regional airline travel. For example, if you are a business traveler who flies three times a week, you'll save about 18 hours per week, or 500 hours a year - hours that you currently spend driving to large airports, and waiting at gates, ticket counters, and security lines.


What do you mean by "personal air travel"?

OpenAir operates on your schedule. You can book a flight 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Even when last-minute travel needs come up, OpenAir can be ready in only a few hours without any additional fees.
