Rise, a Dallas-based private flight service, has announced the expansion of their operations in Europe. Flights will begin in early 2016, with nonstop flights slated between London and cities including Dublin, Edinburgh, Brussels and Paris.
“When we launched Rise in the USA (in) 2015, our goal was to make Rise rapidly scalable, allowing us to take this innovative concept to frequent business travelers around the world,” CEO Nick Kennedy said in a released statement. “Our expansion into the UK is simply a realization of that goal.”
Based out of Love Field, Rise has quickly become popular since beginning its services last year. Within a couple months, Rise expanded operations domestically; including providing multiple daily flights between Dallas, Houston and Austin and multiple weekly flights to Midland.
Rise utilizes a fleet of King Air 350 eight-passenger aircraft provided through a partnership it has with Monarch Air, which operates the planes and pilots. Rise offers three levels of membership that provide travelers with unlimited flights for a monthly fee, (between $1,650 and $2,650). Client membership is greatly varied; energy officials, attorneys, restaurant owners, real estate professionals, etc. all use the service.
