AeroBid is a new live bidding platform, launched to modernise the private charter booking process. Using data and instant communications, it offers a fast and transparent way for brokers to request charters for their clients, and for operators to receive and bid on live flight requests.
Through the platform, brokers can submit detailed flight requests, including aircraft specification, destinations and special requests. Operators can view live flight requests on the Platforms Marketplace and can also choose to receive instant notifications by text or email. Operators can then bid anonymously, in real-time, for the charter, allowing brokers to receive accurate, up-to-date bids on their flight specification. Brokers benefit from faster responses and full transparency, while operators get new business delivered directly to them, thanks to instant notifications on key flight search criteria.
With anonymous bids placed and received in real-time, AeroBid avoids the problems associated with static private charter marketplaces, such as price inaccuracy. With all operator and aircraft details clearly presented alongside bids, it creates a level playing field for operators to compete on value, not just price.
Zaher Deir, CEO and founder of AeroBid, comments: “Private aviation is increasing in popularity, but the industry needs to modernise the way brokers request, and operators bid for, charters if it wants to fully grasp these growth opportunities. With AeroBid, we’ve created a data-driven platform that benefits brokers and operators alike. We can’t wait to see the difference it makes to private aviation in the near future.”
