The Air Charter Guide & Coastal Aviation Technologies Form Strategic Alliance

Penton’s Air Charter Guide, a recognized leader in global air charter travel information, announced a strategic alliance agreement with aviation software firm, Coastal Aviation Technologies.

Under the agreement, The Air Charter Guide will host Coastal Aviation’s flight-sourcing software application, Personifly, on The Air Charter Guide website. Coastal has agreed to supply technical expertise throughout the integration process, along with long-term customer support. The new private travel gateway provides air charter operators, brokers, and executive travelers with an online resource to locate and book private flights. 

Personifly is an innovative flight sourcing software that provides a wide selection of real-time charter quotes. The quotes represent confirmed flights, rather than generic estimates, with fueled aircraft and professional charter operators standing by. Once a flight is located, the user simply clicks through to confirm and book the flight.

“Hosting the Personifly technology will be great for our customers and business clients,” says Frank Craven, Managing Director of the Business Aviation Group at Penton. “This alliance will help us transform The Air Charter Guide website into the industry standard for anyone sourcing private air travel.”

The Air Charter Guide website was originally designed as a directory service, listing available aircraft and contact information for part-135 charter operators. Now, with the advent of Personifly, The Air Charter Guide +Enhanced website will allow executive travelers and their booking agents to quickly locate and reserve charter flights to destination around the world.

The Air Charter Guide + Enhanced debuted at the annual NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers tradeshow in New Orleans.
