Lexington-based Linear Air last week announced plans to expand service having received certification from the French government to offer charter flights to the French West Indies, including St. Bart's.
The St. Bart's certification places Linear Air on a short list of U.S.-based operators with such a privilege. The certification expands the Linear Air Caribbean service area and offers travelers an affordable private air alternative to St. Bart's, where the landscape demands a smaller aircraft due to mountainous terrain and shorter runways.
Linear Air, which flies private jets out of Hanscom Field, also announced the closing of a $2.5 million deal with several new investors, including European private equity firm COFRA Group. The private air-taxi operator has now raised a total of $6 million to fuel its plan to be among the first to begin flying the Eclipse 500 Very Light Jet (VLJ) later this year.
