Pay per minute airline fares?

All I can say is wow. Really? An African airline that is launching this month called Airtimes Airlines is planning on offering flights where you pay by the minute- similiar to those cell phone plans. You can even book tickets via text message. I get that it’s unique and playing off the demographic of those who are younger and more tech savvy. But really- in an industry notorious for delays- who would be willing to pay per minute when they fly. Pay per mile- yes that makes sense. And I also realize that they probably only charge you for the average flying time, but the thought still makes me uneasy and makes me question this company’s viability. Who knows I could be completely wrong- maybe the concept will take off and become very popular. Proove me wrong Airtimes- Proove me wrong! Read the article that Wired wrote and let me know your thoughts!
