Blade operates as a global air mobility platform that leverages a technology-driven, asset-light model to coordinate transportation using external aircraft and infrastructure. It aims to help the aviation sector transition from traditional aircraft to quieter, cleaner electric vertical aircraft, while expanding air mobility routes and developing its captive passenger infrastructure and consumer-to-cockpit technology stack. Headquartered in New York City, the company is positioned in the Airlines and Aviation industry and focuses on integrating urban and aerial mobility. Recent developments indicate a strategic pivot, with plans for a legal name change to Strata Critical Medical, Inc and the completion of the sale of Blade's Passenger business to Joby Aviation. The shift is described as focusing on mission-critical logistics and medical services for hospitals and healthcare providers.
