The term Air taxi is a phrase that refers to the renting of an entire aircraft as opposed to individual aircraft seats. While the airlines specialize in selling transportation by the seat, air charter companies focus on small groups for specialized itineraries, urgent or time-sensitive freight or cargo, air ambulance and any other form of ad hoc air transportation. Generally speaking, air taxi is also known as air charter, executive charter, jet charter and more broadly as a part of general aviation. In the United States air charter and air taxi operations are governed by Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, unlike the larger scheduled airlines, which are governed by more stringent standards of Part 121 of the FARs, which are regulations designed for scheduled air carriers.

History of the Airtaxi: Airtaxi charter can trace its roots back to the dawn of civil aviation. The true growth, however, or corporate aviation and related air taxi, air charter suppliers, boomed following the close of World War II. With excess surplus aircraft lower start up costs both corporations and stand alone air charter companies entered the business of dedicated charter flights for executives, high end travelers, special missions such as organ donor flights, critical auto parts freight, etc, sports teams, entertainers, etc.

new development in the Air crafts: Due to the synergies of a number of technological advancements, some aviation professionals foresee the middle class traveling easily and with much less expense than is currently possible, using VLJs (very light jets) and other types of comparatively inexpensive aircraft.New technologies in engine design, airframe manufacturing methods, computer aided design and avionics as well as ATC

upgrades, many say,will come together to drastically reduce cost while increasing efficiency, comfort and safety. These aircraft (such as the Eclipse 500) are said easier to fly and much cheaper to produce than current production jets. 5,400 small airports across the United States make point-to-point air travel on smaller jets quicker for travelers than the airline hub and spoke system. Next generation avionics and systems may also make these small airports accessible even in poor weather conditions.

NORTH AMERICA: North America is a continent in the Earth's northern hemisphere and (chiefly) western hemisphere. North and South America are popularly accepted as having been named after Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller. Vespucci was the first European to suggest that the Americas were not the East Indies, but a new world previously undiscovered by Europeans. The second and less generally accepted theory is that the continents are named after an English merchant named Richard Amerike from Bristol, who is believed to have financed John Cabot's voyage of discovery from England to Newfoundland in 1497. A minutely explored belief that has been advanced is that America was named for a Spanish sailor bearing the ancient Visigothic name of 'Amairick'. Another is that the name is rooted in an American Indian language.North America is often divided into subregions but no universally accepted divisions exist. Central America comprises the southern region of the continent, but its northern terminus varies between sources.
