UK-based charter hub Returnjet.com is introducing live feeds from aircraft operators’ scheduling systems as part of an effort to make flight price estimates accurate to within 5 percent. The move, which takes effect starting next month, will connect the website with scheduling software such as Leon and Bart to ensure that information provided to prospective flight bookers accurately reflects real-time aircraft availability. The site can now take account of crew duty restrictions for any given trip and factor in aircraft performance and runway limits.

A Broker Dashboard allows brokers to review and archive details of all flight bookings and inquiries, and it provides them with full details about an operator at the flight inquiry stage. Brokers can store the best available flight options in a Marketplace channel. Returnjet’s web developers are working on giving brokers a mechanism to generate their own trip proposal documents directly from the Broker Dashboard.

Since its launch in February last year, Returnjet has registered approximately 600 operators from some 60 countries, with a combined registered fleet of some 3,000 aircraft. The system can also search for aircraft that are not fully registered to expand choice.

More than 7,500 quote requests have been processed at the site and around 300 flights booked. According to Returnjet, the U.S. market is generating much of the growth in operator/aircraft registration and broker request activity.

Through March next year, the site will be free for brokers to use. After that an annual fee of $100 per broker will apply.
