Chase Larabee, creator of the AllFBO Web site, has added a new Web-based platform called Pilotaway.com that allows pilots and dispatchers to make reservations with any FBO in the U.S. While AllFBO was targeted toward FBOs, Pilotaway is for FBO users and will be supported by advertising so users wonít have to pay for it. FBOs will be able to pay for premium listings and services. Pilotaway has also signed an integration deal with Priceline so users can book hotels and rental cars through the system.
Larabee says he is familiar with other FBO reservation systems and doesn't believe they are focused on helping pilots and dispatchers get their needs across. "We spent time and countless dollars on the form," he said, which is more than a simple contact form and includes detailed information about the aircraft, fuel needs, hotel, ground transportation and other requirements.
