BusinessJet Class Attracts Air Taxi Operators at National Air Transportation Association Show, March 8-10
New York NY (February 18, 2005) -- BusinessJet Class (www.BusinessJetClass.com), providing marketing and collaborative business solutions for air taxi operators, will participate in the pre-eminent trade show for the industry, the National Air Transportation Association Annual Convention and Aviation Industry Week Trade Show taking place in Las Vegas, March 8-10. BusinessJet Class executives will be exhibiting their business system and software, designed to help independent operators manage their internal resources, communicate with other operators on the network and market their charter services through travel agents who serve the corporate and luxury travel market. BusinessJet Class is already available to more than 2500 travel agencies in the US. "BusinessJet Class is changing the way charter operators identify, serve and manage their customers," said company President George Khairallah. "Many Part 135 operators have little to no automation and cannot invest in nationwide marketing efforts. They depend on brokers or personal relationships to develop their business. BusinessJet Class offers immediate access to a very large network of travel professionals. This gives the small charter operator the same level of exposure that only the largest brokers or fractional ownership programs have. "In addition, we are offering them the tools to help them with aircraft and scheduling, cost accounting, yield management, and the ability to track items like spare parts orders, special catering or limo requests. These tools tie into the travel agent distribution system of BusinessJet Class, allowing the operator to respond almost instantaneously to consumer demand. The BusinessJet Class difference is that we enable the Part 135 o perator to make a difference." In the past many small charter operators were too small to warrant applying formal process management techniques, and as a result many efficiencies were lost. The suite of BusinessJet Class management tools gives operators access to the more sophisticated management tools and services -- for example, professional cost accounting and a 24/7 travel agent call center -- that allow them to increase their efficiencies and revenues, at little to no cost. "The result is that even the smallest operators joining BusinessJet Class can respond to market demand as if they were the largest," said Khairallah. BusinessJet Class is offering special charter membership benefits to air taxi operators who join at the Aviation Industry Week. A free, 12-month trial membership in BusinessJet Class allows them limited access to the Aircraft Scheduling tool, limited functionality for the Crew Scheduling tool and full access to the Distribution software provided to travel agents. BusinessJet Class will be exhibiting in Booth #17072. The Trade Show is open daily, March 8, 9 and 10, from 10 am to 5 pm at the Sands Expo. ### |
