    A significant policy statement by the incoming presidential administration has been a commitment to accelerate the certification and adoption of Electric Vertical Aircraft (“EVA” or “eVTOL”) in the U.S. We look forward to the potential of accelerating our timeline to transform

    Today we expanded our Blade Airport service between JFK and Manhattan. We now fly 6 days a week, 12hrs. a day (except Sundays which are 3-7pm) up from 5 days a week and 4hrs. a day. Less expensive than Uber Black: $195 for the 5 min. flight or $95 with a Blade Airport Pass. $BLDE

    The shift from helicopters to EVA / eVTOL unlocks the third strata of Urban Mobility—the airspace between ground level transport and commercial aviation at 5K feet. Just as cities evolved vertically from low-rises to skyscrapers, our intra-city transportation will grow upward to

    As Blade continues to build out its global Urban Air Mobility platform, we’re excited to add Chicago’s only vertiport (3rd largest US city) to our portfolio of exclusive infrastructure partners. Looking forward to building dedicated terminal on-site. $EXPC bwnews.pr/3doB3LT

    Today BLADE conducted its first mission from its new 'Jersey City' Helistop opening up vertical transport for NJ commuters traveling between NJ & Manhattan or NYC airports. The flight from NJ to Manhattan took 45 seconds. Flights now available on the BLADE app. @flyblade #BLDE

    Blade’ strategy is to accelerate the transition from helicopters to EVA (or eVTOL). Today’s EVA test flights in NYC will catalyze cities to open multiple vertiports enhancing convenience and reducing costs for our fliers $BLDE

    As we committed, we are pleased to have delivered our first full year of adjusted EBITDA profitability as significant revenue growth in both our Medical and Passenger businesses drove an $17.8 million improvement in adjusted EBITDA for the year. $BLDE
