Earth Airways ideas by Liv https://padlet.com/o_kempsey/hl0v5r7z2xca To help us visualise the ideas, i order to aid decision-making. en-us 2017-11-02 12:53:49 UTC 2026-01-17 12:09:23 UTC hello@padlet.com Door-to-door concierge/service o_kempsey https://padlet.com/o_kempsey/hl0v5r7z2xca/wish/202871370 Whereby the airline own all touchpoints of the currently fragmented customer journey. 
Uber style pick-ups of the traveller, we look after luggage & deliver to hotel/destination, auto-check-in etc.
Key points:
We act as a hospitality company, not a transportation company
Service ‘re-frames’ needs/perception of the holiday from the start.
Gives power to the customer, they can choose to pay for this service, or to do the booking and carrying of luggage themselves.

An airline that only offers first class service to all of its customers. Virgin do it well but we can do it better!

From these platforms, passengers catch solar-powered aircraft that circle planet on pre-determined routes - you get on and off at your chosen stop and take the elevator back to earth level. Elevators work in tandem with planes as the passenger delivery system. Elevators can be sited anywhere and funded by variety of sources. Perhaps they could also be portable? Easy access, quick and  green.

While they wait for their flight, they can get settled inside the pod, which includes all of their luggage and is big enough for their whole party. Each pod is private so passengers are never sharing with anyone they don’t know. It has private amenities, such as a bathroom and cooking facilities. If the flight is long-haul or overnight, the space can be transformed into a large bed to ensure a good rest. There are screens for entertainment. The pod is soundproof so other passengers won’t bother you. When the flight is ready, customers travel inside the pod (which moves by itself) into position on the aircraft. At its destination, the pod detaches from the plane and takes the passenger to their destination- to the taxi rank, the bus or train station, another terminal, or even to their hotel by leaving the airport.]]> 2017-11-05 16:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/o_kempsey/hl0v5r7z2xca/wish/203644460 Idea: Private Jet Sharing Company that values friends and family networks (loyalty scheme) An easy to book, affordable and shared family holiday via jet could be the next Uber for holiday-goers. Detail: Building on the demand for and success of some existing club sharing schemes via apps for the use of private jets, Earth Airways becomes a private jet sharing company that values friends and family networks through a loyalty scheme that beats the small pool of competitors. Problem to be solved: The poor commercial airline experience, (even in first class) and increased demand for flexibility when flying, has created a niche of mid-value flyers (no longer HNWI) who prefer to book private jets. Evidence: The Times reports "Fed-up passengers send demand for private jets soaring"“According to research by WingX Advance, the aviation specialist, there were 78,785 private jet departures in August, up 5.5 per cent compared with the same month last year. PrivateFly, the private-jet booking platform, says the period from July to September was its busiest ever.“ “Being able to go back when you like and be in the air within 20 minutes, and the flexibility of being able to send an SMS to tell the pilot that I’m going to have a later lunch and I want to leave at seven rather than five is what makes it so easy to use,” he said.The average age of private jet flyers is just 38, while over the summer, 19 per cent of passengers were children under 16. Three per cent of flights had family pets on board.” Market competitors: https://jetsmarter.com/ https://jetsmart.com/cl/es/ What are they missing? Both offer club or community membership, and the ease of using an app to book your private jet, with the opportunities to share for a cheaper journey or charter your own jet. Neither offer a ‘friends and family’ option, to allow you loyalty points for referring the service to others in your network, or travelling together to holiday destinations. This would appeal particularly to families during half-term or summer holidays, or families seeking to travel together during peak times such as high holidays. jencorlew https://padlet.com/o_kempsey/hl0v5r7z2xca/wish/203665778 2017-11-05 18:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/o_kempsey/hl0v5r7z2xca/wish/203665778 Earth Airways the theme park jemma_burt https://padlet.com/o_kempsey/hl0v5r7z2xca/wish/203953721 Earth Airways has the brand mission of taking the practicality out of flying, and focusing purely on enjoyment - this is how we disrupt the aviation industry. Dedicated airspace means plane rides can be as big and crazy as we want, without the need for actual roller coasters. Parks are dotted around the world, with direct air links to them all. This means while some amusements will stay in the park (pods that go straight up and down, small planes that do loop-the-loops) we also have thrilling super fast planes that mean you can experience the rides at all sites in one day. The audience for this is thrill seekers, as well as families who would ordinarily find planes a stressful experience.]]> 2017-11-06 15:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/o_kempsey/hl0v5r7z2xca/wish/203953721
