Interesting but the size of the planes puts me off but its a great concept and should work well for those happy to fly small planes.

I'd have too many safety concerns to be making use of this one. But I'm sure some people will go for it and if a light aircraft is flying around anyway, it may as well ferry more than just one person.

Look on the bright side...... a light aircraft can land safely (well..safely for the pax...maybe not so much for the aircraft) in a very small distance.. so if something WERE to go wrong.......:mrgreen:

Interesting idea but I can see a few downsides. Weather can ground a lighty very easily..... and given the difficulties of staying qualified I suspect many of the pilots would be VFR only..... you probably need to have a very loose schedule to use this service..... Baggage weight could quickly become a problem.....especially in a TWO seater....

Customs and immigration issues too would be a consideration. Could be a challenge following Brexit.
