-PrivateFly launches new iPhone application, providing instant private charter quotes-
It's a must-have tool for the discerning traveller - the ability to arrange a private jet from your mobile phone.
Online private jet booking platform PrivateFly.com has launched an iPhone application, free to download, which
allows you to enter trip details and then receive an immediate private jet charter estimate. It's the world's
first application to provide private jet pricing on a mobile phone.
The mobile phone user simply enters departure and arrival information together with their dates and can search
locations by airfield name or city. A price estimate appears on-screen in seconds,
with a choice of aircraft. Aircraft specifications are provided, including high resolution photos, and
the estimated price is calculated by PrivateFly's bespoke software, giving a highly accurate indicator of the
final price*.
With one touch, the user can then request a detailed response which automates an email request to multiple
charter operators who then bid for the trip. The user can opt to receive details by email or request that the
PrivateFly team call back. The booking process is straightforward and - if required - the flight can be in the
air a matter of hours!
Adam Twidell, founder and director of PrivateFly.com, comments: "Our aim has always been to streamline the private jet
booking process and our iPhone application now takes this to a new level. Our clients are busy people so it is hugely
exciting to launch an application that gives them the ability to start booking private jets directly from their
mobile phones".
"This is the only iPhone application which gives immediate private jet prices and will be an indispensable tool
for business or frequent travellers. We're now working at product enhancements, which will give our clients
even greater choice and control over how they book a private charter flights."
