Avinode Group
The organization operates an online platform that gives charter brokers and operators real-time access to a global charter fleet and aircraft-demand data.
What It Is: Avinode Group is parent of the Avinode Marketplace online platform, which provides charter brokers and operators real-time access to a global charter fleet and aircraft-demand data.
After updating, SchedAero flight-operations software was relaunched in 2012, and the next year Avinode introduced customizable interfaces enabling charter companies to host branded price-quoting engines on their websites, using Avinode’s data and pricing algorithms. World Fuel Services’ Multi Service division bought a majority stake in the company in 2014; Avinode had sold Wyvern Consulting earlier that year.
Paynode, a secure payment platform for charter transactions, came online in 2016, and the Avinode Group holding company was created in 2018. This year, Avinode introduced a three-tiered subscription structure, adding a more economical “starter” plan providing access to the platform’s basic functionality.
What It Offers:
Avinode Marketplace. Online B2B platform for operator-broker interchange of aircraft availability, demand data, and bookings. TripManager enables brokers to receive online quotes and send invoices. Customizable B2C search engines allow providers to host branded charter price calculators on their Web sites.
SchedAero. Flight-operations software for operators ranging from owners of one piston aircraft to business jet fleets and executive airliners.
PayNode. Secure B2B transaction platform for processing charter transactions.
Notable Achievement: Avinode created the first online B2B charter marketplace for sourcing and booking charters, bringing charter brokerage into the digital age.
