| How is MyJet ™ "Per-Seat On-Demand" jet service different from current air taxi services. |
| With MyJet ™ you pay only for the seat(s) you occupy and the trip legs you fly. Most air taxi services require that you book the entire plane and pay for a round-trip — even if you are only flying one-way. Each seat aboard MyJet ™ aircraft will be individually negotiated and customized to the needs of each and every customer. MyJet ™ operations will be driven solely by individual customer demand and are not subject to anyone's schedule... but yours. Our per-seat paradigm provides all the efficiency of corporate jet charter, fractional ownership programs, and hourly membership cards at just a fraction of the cost, so the benefits of on-demand travel can extend to many more employees and organizations. |
| |
| How is MyJet ™ "Per-Seat @ On-Demand" jet service different from commercial air travel. |
| MyJet ™ will be complementary to scheduled airline service. We believe the primary beneficiaries of "Per-Seat On-Demand" service will be those individuals who typically fly to a metropolitan city and then drive or travel by rail on business trips today. Think of it this way: you will find you can forego a long drive and an overnight stay by flying to your destination and back in a single day with MyJet ™ or even fly one way on a scheduled flight and the other way on a “Per-Seat On-Demand” flight tailored to your individual schedule. |
| |
| What are the enabling forces behind MyJet ™ "Per-Seat On-Demand" jet service?- |
| Our "Per-Seat On-Demand" jet service has been enabled recently through the confluence of technologies — including advanced aircraft manufacturing techniques, integrated avionics, highly efficient power plants, and a real-time logistics and scheduling operations system — coupled with a new vision of how regional business travel should work On-demand, according to your needs. This unique combination of aircraft hardware and real-time operations software will result in a cost-effective and highly efficient transportation alternative that meets the demands of today's business traveler. |
| |
| When will MyJet ™ begin offering "Per-Seat On-Demand" jet service? |

| |
| How much will MyJet ™ price its "Per-Seat on-Demand" jet service. |
Due to the breakthroughs in aircraft and computing technologies offering greater operational efficiencies and economies of scale, our "Per-Seat On-Demand" services would be priced at a modest premium to full-fare coach airfare, i.e. about the same cost as an overnight trip (including airfare, hotel, and per diem). Customers could reap all the benefits of corporate jet travel for a fraction of the current price.
|
| What type of aircraft would MyJet ™ use for its "Per-Seat On-Demand" jet service? |
| MyJet ™ plans to base its "Per-Seat, On-Demand" service on the new-generation Very Light jet. Which is an economically viable platform, when combined with our own advanced real-time operations system, will make on-demand jet travel broadly affordable and accessible for the first time. |
| |
| Where will MyJet ™ offer its "Per-Seat, On-Demand" jet service? |

Business travelers & others in Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Calicut, Trivandrum , Nagpur etc who wish to travel within these metro centers and particularly those who wish to do business in smaller centers not connected by scheduled operators, like Ajmer, Ludhiana, Trichy etc will be among the nation's first to benefit from "Per-Seat On-Demand" business jet service when MyJet ™ takes flight. For those of you that live in other parts of the country, we're eager to ease your regional travel burden too. We will expand our service across the nation.

| MyJet networks |
| MyJet proposes to build a network of MyStops™, MyPorts™ and MyBase™. MyStops ™ are small airstrips or airports, mainly the pick up or drop out points. MyPorts ™shall be the locations where we will offer our per seat on demand option and would be served by MyJet™ Customer care executives. MyBase ™is the base stations for crew and aircraft. They will have facilities for routine maintenance, fully fledged customer care team etc. Selection of these ports will be done on the basis of air craft range, customer demography, demand projections, availability of personnel etc. Each MyBase ™would be a well-developed city centre overlapping the range map (Please see the diagram at Technical Section of this document) |

| Why India |
 |
The passenger can go only where the operator goes. |
|
The passenger can only travel when the operator is scheduled. |
|
The operator’s possible destinations are restricted by the size of the aircraft. |
|
Ground Logistics take more time than travel time in air. |
|
Personal priorities are discounted for the mass. |
|
Chartering a plane can give all the above but the cost is very high and affordable only to a privileged few. |
|
We have more than 420 Airstrips in India. |
|
Our Economy is growing faster than any other country. The sheer geographical spread (3,287,263 km², i.e. 1,269,345.60 miles² out of it 90.44% land and 9.56% water) and population distribution introduces time and convenience issues in other modes of travel. These other modes, i.e., road and rail are suitable for shorter distances but over longer distances, air travel is more of a necessity than luxury. If air travel is chosen, it unlocks time and creates opportunities. In India, this has already been done with the advent of Low cost airlines. |
