Portal - Short-Haul Electric Airline

Portal is an electric short-haul airline service designed to address the painful realities of long-distance travel in America. By escaping the tyranny of the jet engine, Portal can deliver an unrivaled passenger experience and dramatically reduce operating costs. Allowing flights between America’s thousands of underutilized non-primary airports. Bringing travelers to their destinations faster and cheaper than cars or jets, all while reducing the environmental impact of such trips. Rather than try to replicate jet aircraft performance, Portal re-imagines air travel in a way that transforms the drawbacks of electric aircraft, into advantages.
