Company Summary
TakeFlight was founded to ease the difficulties inherent in renting aircraft for both the owner and the pilot. This is done by offering a web based mobile platform for renting aircraft that tracks all regulatory requirements pertinent to a part 91 flight and ensures compliance for all parties involved. TakeFlight monetizes its services with a fee of $15 per flight hour or $65 per day prorated by hours flown in that day for extended rentals.
