Aircraft Assets
As of December 31, 2024, we owned nine Hawker 800 series midsize jets, all of which are dedicated to Blade’s Medical segment. Additionally, in 2024, we purchased a tenth aircraft and assumed full operational control, though legal title remains with the seller, M&N, who also operates the aircraft. The purchase price has been fully paid and is held as a deposit until title transfer to Blade, which is expected in 2025. This aircraft has been in service for Blade since late September 2024.
Our fleet has an average age of 26 years and an average seating capacity of 8 seats per aircraft. Our fleet is painted in white with varying stripe colors, and all aircraft display the “Blade” logo in black or blue. These aircraft are operated and maintained by third-party service providers under Blade’s oversight and are strategically based across key airports in Bedford, Massachusetts; Teterboro, New Jersey; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Denver, Colorado to support our operations efficiently. All aircraft undergo routine maintenance, inspection and certification processes, which may, at times, require temporary relocation to third-party maintenance facilities. All aircraft are maintained in accordance with FAA regulations and industry standards to ensure operational safety and reliability.
In addition to the ten aircraft discussed above, Blade has contractual relationships with various aircraft operators to provide aircraft service under CPAs, some of which contain embedded aircraft leases. Under these CPAs, the Company pays the operator contractually agreed fees (carrier costs) for operating these flights. The fees are generally based on fixed hourly rates for flight time multiplied by hours flown. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for additional information.
