A billion-dollar investment opportunity.
WingTips is revolutionizing short-distance travel with shared, on-demand charter flights. We fly to destinations commercial airlines don’t offer — taking the hassle and inconvenience out of long drive times.
For as little as $200 you can become a WingTips investor. It’s the right investment… at the right time.
By harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, we’re delivering short-distance flights from 1,000s of local airports. With WingTips, travelers fly to and from local airports, on a business aircraft professionally flown by a certified air carrier, but book and pay for only the number of seats they need.
The Problem.
Regional Air Mobility provides flights of 100 to 400 miles to destinations commercial airlines don’t service. Others have tried but aggregating customer demand and high operational costs have prevented them from doing so successfully. Until now.
The Solution.
WingTips is a team of Subject Matter Experts who developed a solution for short-distance travel. We offer on-demand, shared charter flights that get travelers where they need to be 4x faster than driving or flying a commercial airline. That’s because we fly to and from local airports that commercial airlines don’t service. These airports are conveniently located, typically within 30 minutes from your destination and offer a seamless travel experience — without the hassle of long security lines and the risk of lost luggage.
By aggregating customer flight requests, we schedule shared flights based on specific customer travel needs. With WingTips, travelers can now purchase individual seats on charter flights that are competitively priced to a seat on a commercial flight and provide exceptional, concierge-level customer service.
Our extensive experience in charter flight operations, Big Data, and air travel demand forecasting, coupled with our core AI-powered technology, ensures operational efficiencies needed to rapidly scale our business.
WingTips is operating in California, Nevada, Texas, and Arizona with shared charter service, with plans to expand shared charter service nationwide.
WingTips is fundraising on Wefunder.

“The concept of providing on-demand flights with per-seat pricing was an interesting and complex math problem. But it was something I needed to solve because there is immense value to a vast audience of travelers.”
— Mike Azzarello, Founder & CEO, WingTips
The WingTips Story.
As a private pilot, father, and self-proclaimed technology nerd, Mike’s personal experience provided the idea for WingTips.
And so, our story began.
Mike, our Founder & CEO, was experiencing what is a rite of passage for many parents: visiting your child at college. The question of whether to drive or fly came up, and the realization hit that there was no time difference between the two because of the lack of short-distance flights. Over the next several years, every time he was off to visit his children, the “drive vs fly” question was debated.
That’s when Mike, an instrument-rated pilot with a multi-decade career in data technology, decided to harness the power of data science and AI to deliver a premium travel service for short-distance trips (100-400 mile flights) not serviced by major airlines.
4x faster than driving or flying.
As the business grew and evolved, Mike wrote database programs to continually test new ideas and prove them with proof-of-concept tests. The availability of Big Data and the tools to use it, along with research on decision support strategies, are the driving force for WingTips. Mike’s vision was to offer individual seat sales on charter flights, with top-notch concierge-level service that gets travelers where they need to be 4x faster than driving or flying a commercial airline, at affordable fares.
