History
Blink Limited was founded by Peter Leiman and Cameron Ogden, who met at Harvard Business School. Ogden is the son of Sir Peter Ogden, the founder of Computacenter. Leiman is a former investment banker. Four former British Airways executives are involved in operations. In May 2015 Blink announced the acquisition of MyJet, a Genoa based operator, with three Cessna Citation Mustang aircraft. This increased Blink's fleet size to nine aircraft. The acquisition also included a maintenance facility at Genoa Airport. Also in May 2015, Blink announced the acquisition of their homebase airport at Blackbushe Airport.
Fleet and Services
The company uses a fleet of nine Cessna Citation Mustang aircraft to provide on-demand private jet travel. Its fleet of cheaper and lighter aircraft allows the company to provide services at a lower cost versus traditional private jet operators. The jets seat four passengers and travel to destinations in Western Europe.
