Sorry to be so ignorant, but how much does it cost these days to
fly with air taxi as compared to flying business/first class with
the airlines? do you guys reckon that these new VLJ coming up will
have an impact on that market? ok, it won't compete on the long
range flights, but what about the short haul? and where do
airlines get their revenues these days? short or long haul?

I'm also ignorant of exact numbers, but what I recall is that air taxi
is more expensive (per flight) but has the benefit of little or no
security hassle, and access to many little airports the commercial
operators don't fly into. This is attractive to business travellers.

Will the VLJs impact the market? Yes. Sufficiently? Dunno -
sufficiently to do what?

I don't know where the airlines get their revenues, but I suspect it's
from excess baggage charges.
