Additionally, you’re with the clients all the time, being entrusted with their business colleagues, and families, and everybody else. I also amassed myself to become a computer coder. I now code in four different languages and have become very proficient in autonomous software programming for drone systems. During this time I have met new contacts and made new business connections, some who have partnered with Fly Air, Inc. Our firm has been creating solutions for the business aviation industry. The first one is an application called Fly Air which essentially allows clients to book private flights using voice integration and artificial intelligence with a query system providing available private jets on demand in a matter of seconds. Clientele using the Fly Air app have the option of paying by credit card, multiple major cryptocurrencies, or with our very own Fly Air token. We are promoting Fly Air through traditional channels such as NBAA, however, we have started to socialize at events like Art Basel International Art Fair, Sundance Film Festival, and even sports events like Formula One in Abu Dhabi in Monaco, and cryptocurrency events such as Coin Agenda.

BAJUSA: Your story is inspirational and motivating! Let’s take a deeper dive about Fly Air Inc and the Fly Air app.

SB: Absolutely. We wanted to position Fly Air as an innovator and a disruptor in the private aviation industry. Basically, we leveraged our leading edge technology to offer the best customer experience. Our technology is leveraged to bring artificial intelligence and voice integration together. We brought the best of developers on board to include our Fly Air CTO who is also a SpaceX developer, and a front-end developer who is also a SpaceX developer. They both worked on the Starlink program. We are very happy to have them on board to provide rigorous code-based technology. The Fly Air app took us about a year to develop which includes a chat system, and a secure back end with a wallet. We built a nice integrated system that allows us to source over 300 fixed base operators around the globe. Our APIs connect with over 10,000 jets around the globe. The app will filter results based on client requests geographically. All Fly Air charter operator partners are top-tier Argus and Wyvern approved organizations. Essentially we source flights like Amazon sources products to clients. We are also very pleased with the group feature in our app which works in two modes. One mode allows the client to pay for the flight up-front and invite passengers, and another where each passenger can pay for his portion of the flight individually. The group features are handy when going to networking events together. To sum it up, we’re a tech company providing solutions to the aviation industry.

BAJUSA: Very informative. One topic that comes up a lot within the aviation industry is the environmental footprint of flying. How does the Fly Air team think about this challenge?

SB: I am so pleased you asked. We are extremely passionate about protecting our environment. I am convinced most individuals are as well. The first point is that we make it easy for clients who utilize the Fly Air app to have an option here to mitigate the carbon impact of flying via carbon offsetting. When a flight is booked, an algorithm in the app generates metric tons of carbon emissions per passenger during the flight, and a fee for offsetting passenger carbon emissions is then included in the booked flight. This feature removes the burden on the individual to find a way to offset their carbon emissions incurred from the flight. Additionally, passengers are informed about which real, pro-climate projects their fees support. For example if they are helping to protect vulnerable regions from deforestation, or supporting reforestation and tree planting efforts. Importantly, they feel confident about the fact that their funds are verifiably supporting these initiatives across the globe. Fly Air, Inc. has a contractual partnership with carbon offset organization KlimaDAO (www.KlimaDAO.finance) that facilitates the carbon offset process.

For us, carbon offsetting is the starting point for the aviation industry to mitigate its environmental impact, but we’re also excited to see how the industry will evolve to and become increasingly environmentally efficient as new low carbon technologies and innovations become available. As a tech provider for the industry, we think we have a role in supporting this transition over the coming years.
