Vancouver, British Columbia-based online retail-direct air charter marketplace Airble recently signed up its 60th operator and has developed a widget that its industry partners can use as an embeddable website booking tool. Through the app, Airble customers can access the marketplace to compare and book charter flights, empty legs, air tours, and travel packages.
Founder Saeed Golzar launched Airble in 2022 in collaboration with Canadian partners to bring more transparency to the booking process, the company said, and by June 2023 had expanded beyond the Canadian borders with its first U.S. operator, NeaJets. In recent months, Airble has expanded more globally with the onboarding of Greek air operator Bellavia and the first Asian operator, Medevac. U.S.-based Maverick Helicopters became Airble’s 60th collaboration partner.
“At every step, we’ve listened to our operator partners,” Golzar said. “They not only embraced the B2C platform, but wanted the technology behind it to offer better customer service on their own websites. That’s how the idea for our website widget was born.”
The widget enables participating operators to integrate Airble’s booking engine into their own websites, extending the reach of the marketplace.
