Efforts to bring Uber-like flight-sharing to private aircraft, such as FlyteNow and Airpooler, have been derailed by the FAA, but similar efforts that use the power of apps to fill empty seats on commercial charter aircraft are booming. Blade has done so well selling helicopter service from Manhattan to the Hamptons that it sparked an uproar among beach-goers annoyed by the constant roar of rotors. Now another service, Rise, which launched last summer in Dallas, says its service to fill empty seats on charter jets has completed 1,500 flights and is ready to expand into six additional cities, in Texas and beyond.
