Air Charter International launches SkySearch Universal Portal.

Monday 12th March 2012

Innovative new B2B product to support the travel and aviation market.

Air Charter International, the Dubai-based aircraft charter and leasing company, is pleased to announce the launch of SkySearch Universal Portal, a new B2B product developed for the travel and aviation industry. The innovative software offers indicative air charter quotes based on the latest market rates for executive jet services and passenger aircraft worldwide.

The white-labelled product, which can be integrated into the customers' website, enables third party companies to win new business and generate income by selling charter flights through their own dedicated websites. This is the first time the application has been available to the wider travel market as a customised product and will support requirements from travel agents, tour operators, hotel chains, concierge services and high end travel providers.

The system implementation requires minimal outlay and effort and can be implemented in a matter of hours onto third party websites so providing great earning potential for the subscriber. Air Charter International can also assist partners with leads and enquiries resulting from the service by confirming aircraft availability and price, or alternatively subscribers may source the aircraft independently. The new SkySearch Universal Portal is available on a subscription basis for just US$ 150 per month (six month minimum term).

Stuart Wheeler, CEO of Air Charter International said: "SkySearch Universal Portal covers a much wider scope than any other aircraft charter booking service on offer in that the service works for both executive jet and passenger aircraft enquiries. In addition, charter operators do not have to pay a fee to be listed on the database resulting in more available aircraft in the SkySearch pool. We really believe that this will revolutionize the B2B market of air chartering; and comprehensive information will be increasingly available to a wider range of users and end customers. "

SkySearch Universal Portal complements the company's existing SkySearch charter web portal launched in May 2011 which has been highly successful as it allows end users to obtain instant budgetary quotes and book charters online at www.skysearch.aero. Since then, the company has launched a mobile App for Iphone and Android enabling users to submit their enquiry and receive quotes whilst on the go.

SkySearch products are powered by Air Charter International's extensive database of over 5,000 active aircraft which is updated daily and based on market intelligence captured over a ten year period. Customers who subscribe to the service will benefit from over 20 years of air charter experience from the highly skilled team at Air Charter International.
