BLADE IS POSITIONED TO RE-SHAPE THE AIR MOBILITY LANDSCAPE 5 First-mover advantage and loyal customer base have created significant barriers to entry Recognized and valuable Urban Air Mobility brand Captive strategic infrastructure in place today, additional capital will enable further expansion via actionable targets and new routes Large addressable and serviceable markets that are only getting bigger as urban congestion escalates #1 market share in our key short-distance aviation markets, bringing credibility to new market expansion Strong management team with domain expertise and public market experience Proprietary technologies and asset-light model enables flight volume growth and accelerates launch timeline for new markets BLADE Today BLADE 2024+ BLADE is strategically positioned to deploy next generation electric vertical aircraft (“EVA”) profitably and at scale • BLADE’s business model is proven and is profitable; EVA is expected to improve unit economics and dramatically expand the addressable market of BLADE’s existing products • 167 different EVA aircraft under development • BLADE is 1 of 1 — poised to benefit regardless of which is first to market • BLADE’s extensive flier base and control of strategic infrastructure secures its leading position in the future of Urban Air Mobility 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 An end-to-end Urban Air Mobility platform leveraging captive infrastructure, customer and operator technologies, 200,000+ users, and a well-known global brand

GRAPHIC

Through our powerful brand, user-friendly customer experience, strategic infrastructure, proprietary technology, 200,000 users, and asset light business model, we’ve built a platform which accommodates use of the current generation of aircraft, and a transition to EVA tomorrow. BLADE is a global Urban Air Mobility platform

GRAPHIC

GENESIS 7 Urban Air Mobility was not a consumer offering prior to BLADE • Expensive — typically, using large, inefficient helicopters • Low capacity utilization (6-8 seat helicopters) • Booking done by wire, typically requiring signed and “faxed” contracts and 12-hour notice • Public terminals with industrial décor and no integration with aviation service companies • No brands — a B2B service catering to corporate C-Suite and the extremely wealthy BLADE changed it all • BLADE’s mobile technology and data exhaust enable flier aggregation, route determination, and by-the-seat pricing using newer and smaller helicopters – Beat Uber Black Manhattan-JFK ground pricing with BLADE seat cost of $195 or $95 with flight pass • Booking up to 20 minutes prior to flight via BLADE mobile app • Network of private terminals provides a competitive advantage and an improved experience for our fliers • Six years of marketing and branding efforts turned BLADE into a verb for the markets we serve

GRAPHIC

STRATEGY 8 Grow our Urban Air Mobility platform by leveraging our: • Network of private terminals • Customer-to-cockpit technology stack • Over 200,000 users and approximately 40,000 annual fliers (2019) • Trusted brand Our proven asset-light model and growing flier base will ensure an orderly and flexible transition from conventional rotorcraft to EVA and will support the acquisition of aircraft by our operator partners when the right equipment is available and certified. Until then, we will keep building our platform and expanding our market reach.

HOW BLADE OPERATORS ARE CHOSEN Sikorsky S-76 Bell 407 Grand Caravan EX Amphib ▪ BLADE partners with safety vetted third-party operators to arrange flights for its customers ▪ BLADE does not own any aircraft ▪ Each operator must pass comprehensive safety evaluations including: – In-person audits of pilots, aircraft, mechanics and facilities by our in- house Head of Safety (former military, NYPD pilot and head of Fortune 50 corporate aviation department) – Insurance, maintenance, FAA and DOT records check, and pilot background checks ▪ Operators must also meet BLADE’s standards for customer experience and operational efficiency: – BLADE branded aircraft with “as-new” condition interiors and exteriors – Scheduled maintenance review (time between overhauls, annual inspections) – Use of BLADE’s operator dispatch and accounting dashboard technology PRIMARY ACCESSIBLE FLEET 22 BLADE standards of “flyability” of our missions are often more stringent than FAA guidelines

EVA –– BLADE’S CATALYST FOR GROWTH IN URBAN AIR MOBILITY ▪ Electric Vertical Aircraft ▪ Piloted ▪ Quiet ▪ Safe (Engine Redundancy, Fly-by-Wire, limited moving parts) ▪ Zero Emissions (Full Electric Operation) ▪ Lower Cost of Manufacture and Operation – May Take Time To Become Meaningful ▪ 180mph+ cruising speed vs. ~150mph for rotorcraft ▪ Certification by FAA in 2023 (BLADE model reflects 2025) Given low costs, low noise footprints, and zero emissions, EVA are poised to supercharge BLADE’s business while leveraging the air mobility platform we have been building for 6 years Source: Public filings and management estimates 23

REGULATORY OFFICIALS ARE FOCUSED ON EVA CERTIFICATION 25 Once approved by regulators, EVA adoption will rely on existing infrastructure, FAA rules and air traffic control systems – BLADE’s existing platform provides the expertise, scale and consumer trust to transition to EVA Jay Merkle FAA UAS Executive Director “We really cracked the code on how to take decades-old aviation [rules] and get to the essence of each of those requirements and say ‘What was the safety goal here?’…It is absolutely not true that there need to be all new regulations governing Urban Air Mobility.” Earl Lawrence FAA Aircraft Certification Service Executive Director “I have four active formal applications for electric vertical-lift aircraft right now that are going to be the Urban Air Mobility aircraft of the future. These aren’t concepts; these are full-up active type certification projects. And I expect to be issuing a type certificate to one of these aircraft prior to 2022.” Steve Dickson FAA Administrator “We are currently engaged with the builders of more than 15 electric vertical takeoff and landing Urban Air Mobility aircraft projects. In January, we saw North America’s first public demonstration of an autonomous two-seat flying taxi…”

ILLUSTRATIVE UNIT ECONOMICS: ONE-WAY WEST 30TH STREET TO JFK AIRPORT FLIGHT Single Flight P&L Commentary Flight Revenue Six seat capacity per helicopter Less: Landing Fees Fixed landing fees paid to heliports and airports. BLADE enjoys reduced landing fees given significant attributed volume Less: Flight Cost Fixed hourly rate paid to BLADE’s operators covers pilots, fuel, maintenance, insurance, hangar, etc. Flight time per trip is pre-negotiated for all key routes. BLADE pays only if we fly Gross Margin Profitable at approximately 2.3 of 6 seats sold Plus: Landing Fee Savings Ownership of key infrastructure would result in further reduction of landing fees Plus: Fuel Cost Savings Elimination of fuel margin charged by infrastructure owner creates pass-through fuel cost savings Pro-Forma Gross Margin 30 Cost structure is 100% variable on a per flight basis—if we don’t fly, we don’t pay. Given six-seat aircraft capacity and profitability on third seat, unit economics are ideal to achieve profitability at any scale

COVID-19 HAS CREATED NEW OPPORTUNITIES Source: Metropolitan Transportation Authority; Management research BLADE has, and will continue to, take advantage of COVID-19’s effects on the transportation industry • COVID-19 has created “Synthetic Suburbs” and reduced seasonality of key routes with more people flying on a less frequent basis • COVID-19 has amplified the value of our lounges, which allow BLADE to perform health and safety checks prior to flights. No non-BLADE passengers are permitted entry • Ground vehicle traffic is near pre-pandemic levels due to a shift away from commuter trains, where ridership remains approximately 70% below 2019 levels • The resultant travel downturn has created opportunities for strategic M&A to bolster BLADE’s business plan (100%) (80%) (60%) (40%) (20%) 0% March April May June July August September October % Change YoY NYC Commuter Traffic/Ridership March 1, 2020 - October 27, 2020 Ground Vehicle Traffic Long Island Rail Road Metro-North Railroad 45
