e-AVIATION CHARTER TIME EXCHANGE

In the world of aviation time has always meant money. That same time expressed in flight time was the key for determining the end price for the customer. As we all have experienced the end price has final word in making important business decisions. Being experienced in aviation charter brokerage we know the breaking point at which major losses appear. That "side effect", "collateral damage", "locomotion" in aviation charter is named "empty leg".

Empty leg is a side effect that comes when the first customer books a flight in one direction, best description in a word would be "leftover". Exactly those "leftovers" are our business.


First customer usually books a trip from point A to point B from a charter company. The first customer wishes to stay for some time at point B. However, the carrier needs its plane for the next customer on a different route. The aeroplane than travels to point C or back to point A empty. What makes the story bad is that that "empty leg" is charged equally as the leg when customer is on it, due to the expenses of the aeroplane. This program takes this "empty leg" information and places it on the exchange board that offers it to another customer. Users can easily view offers on web based exchange board and by clicking on it can get detailed information. If interested, the user approaches us (mid operator), and we connect offer and demand.
First customer gets some percentage of end cost as a refund, the users get their planned trip bellow planned price, while the carrier increases its service and for sure increases its customer reputation. The project is not only money saving, it has much wider positive effect, especially on the environment (reduction of the number of needless flights) and the availability of aircraft charting to a wider number of clients due to reduced prices.
