Blade to highlight value of on demand transport at NBAA-BACE
Blade will again offer per-seat helicopter flights throughout between the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive airport, home to the NBAA-BACE aircraft display.
Operated by Orbic Air, each flight between the convention centre and the aircraft display will seat up to five passengers.

Blade Air Mobility is to showcase the efficiency of on demand aerial transportation to attendees of the 2024 NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Following incredibly strong demand at previous editions of the show, Blade will again offer per-seat helicopter flights throughout between the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive airport, home to the NBAA-BACE aircraft display.

Operated by Orbic Air, each flight seats up to five passengers. These safe and convenient flights provide attendees with an opportunity to experience the benefits of on demand aerial mobility as the industry nears the commercial introduction of electric-powered advanced air mobility aircraft.

“Blade is excited to continue our partnership with the NBAA. This year, we have expanded our schedule and charter options, enhancing our helicopter service between the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive airport,” says president Melissa Tomkiel. “This programme highlights the efficiency of our services and underscores its practical applications as we transition from traditional rotorcraft to quiet, emission-free electric vertical aircraft.”

“We are pleased to again partner with Blade to provide these unique and thrilling flights as part of NBAA-BACE,” adds NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “Based on the number of sold-out flights at previous editions of NBAA-BACE, it's clear that business aviation is ready and eager to experience widespread availability of on demand mobility options.”
