Airly, the start-up offering an all-you-can-fly service between Sydney and Melbourne, will now be using a jet as well as a turboprop to allow for faster trips.
The company, which aims to start flying by September, plans to introduce a Bombardier Learjet 45 for longer missions to work alongside the previously planned Beechcraft King Air 350.
Airly's all-you-can-fly membership, which costs $2550 a month, will also include shorter flights between Sydney and Canberra and Melbourne and Canberra.
