ImagineAir is an air taxi service based in Lawrenceville, Georgia, founded in 2005,[1] commencing operations in April 2007.[citation needed] The company is often noted for its young management; founders Aaron Sohacki and Benjamin Hamilton were 19 and 21 respectively when the company was founded,[1][2] as well as its innovative online aircraft booking system, providing the familiarity of buying an airline seat but with charter.[3]
The business is based upon the idea of the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS), developed by NASA. ImagineAir is a founding member of the Air Taxi Association (ATXA).[4] In 2008, the company reported revenues of US $800,000 with the goal of operating 50 aircraft with 100 pilots by 2014.[1]
The company is based at Gwinnett County Airport (Briscoe Field).[5]
ImagineAir operates a fleet of Cirrus SR-22 aircraft[1] and was one of the original depositors of the Eclipse 500 very light jet before Eclipse fell into bankruptcy.[citation needed]
