Online charter portal Avinode (Booth No. C7818) is introducing a new suite of mobile applications for iPhones and iPads to put real-time aircraft availability data in the palm of the user’s hand. The Sweden-based group developed the apps so that charter operators and brokers can make them available to their clients, sparing them the chore of doing the complex development work themselves. They include charter search and request tools that the brokers and operators can use, with or without empty-leg search capability, as well as a stand-alone empty-leg sales tool.

“We believe that finding a private jet should be as simple and flexible as traveling in one,” explained Per Marthinsson, managing director for Avinode Americas. “So we designed a suite of apps that would allow our marketplace members to give their clients easy access to available charter aircraft with real-time price and availability information pulled straight from the Avinode marketplace.”
