DayJet Eclipse 500
DayJet was an American commercial aviation operation that provided on-demand jet travel using Eclipse 500 very light jets. Founded by Ed Iacobucci, the former leader of the IBM-Microsoft Joint OS/2 development team IBM executive and the founder of Citrix Systems, and his wife, network architect Nancy Lee Iacobucci,[2] DayJet launched in October 2007. It was based in Delray Beach, Florida.
Described by its founders as an on-demand jet taxi service, DayJet raised $61 million[3] in venture funding, entered into a five-year agreement with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration[4] and purchased 28 Eclipse 500 jets (4- and 6-seaters) at the cost of $1.5 million each[5][6] before suspending operations on September 19, 2008, during the height of the 2008 financial crisis.[6][7][8]
DayJet was Eclipse Aviation's largest customer with a planned eventual delivery of 1,400 aircraft representing a majority of the estimated 2,500 Eclipse 500s on order.[9]
Its headquarters were in Delray Beach, Florida.[10]
DayJet had 239 orders for the Eclipse 500, and was expected to place 70 more by 2010. The first delivery of three Eclipse 500 aircraft took place on March 31, 2007.[11]
