]]> Esquire recently joined forces with Vertu, the market leader in luxury phones, to celebrate the launch of the new Ascent. In addition to announcing the winner of The Spirit of Adventure photographic competition, the evening at the Hempel Hotel featured a debate featuring three young, dynamic pioneers in very different fields.

Blink Managing Director Peter Leiman was one of the young pioneers discussing the way Blink and the Cessna Mustang are revolutionising the Air Taxi market.

]]> Last month, Popular Mechanics compiled a list of the world’s 18 “strangest” airports.

While some airports made this list for having a golf course in between two large runways (Bangkok) or for the entire landmass of the airport being larger than an entire neighbouring country (Dammam), most of the airports on this list were chosen for having uniquely positioned short runways often near bodies of water.

Check out the pictures and embedded videos in the article and let us know in the comments below which airport is your favourite.

My favourite is the Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport airport on Saba in the Netherlands Antilles.  Check out the video below to see why–watch until the very end to see just how short the runway is.

]]> Blink was featured in a segment on CNBC Life which was produced by The Luxury Channel.  The video highlights recent developments in private aviation, including the launch of Blink, and covers EBACE 2009 in Geneva.

The Luxury Channel - CNBC - The world of Private Jets

The video report starts with an introduction into the top-of-the-line jets, showcasing some of large corporate VIP airliners being produced by Airbus, and then covers Blink when discussing some of the new developments in the industry and how business travellers are using private aviation to be more efficient.

Peter Leiman from Blink is interviewed.  You can also see a quick glimpse of a Blink jet as the video shows the jets on display at EBACE.

Click here or on the above image to watch the video in a new window.

Peter’s comments are a bit truncated in the segment. His remark about introducing a sub-fleet of jets like the Cessna Mustang, the Blink jet, is in reference to a study he and Cameron Ogden conducted for Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart has the largest corporate fleet of jets in the world. Peter and Cameron found that Wal-Mart could achieve significant cost savings and productivity gains by introducing the Mustang and similar aircraft into their fleet.

Additionally, the analysis demonstrated that Wal-Mart could expand the number of employees who could travel on the aircraft and save Wal-Mart money. If a company like Wal-Mart who is renowned and revered for its low cost approach to business can benefit from business jets, then other companies must be able to extract these same benefits. This insight demonstrated that companies in Europe who need to move employees between locations could benefit from a low-cost jet service such as Blink.
