About Avinode
“Avinode was created back in 2002 to answer a straightforward problem: operators had empty planes and brokers had clients that wanted to fly. And yet there was no real-time online marketplace where these two groups could explore and buy each other’s services. Avinode revolutionized the industry by bringing it online. It is now the go-to platform to buy and sell charter online. Every year, Avinode processes around 4.5 million trip searches and 6 million trip requests. We are also at the technological forefront of the shift to the online booking of private air charter. The web apps and APIs implemented by our customers see around 2 million searches per year – and growing.” – Avinode

With their own marketplace and payment solution Avionde is the go-to choice for their industry.
