PrivateFly announces 'key milestone' integration with FOS®

Private charter booking platform PrivateFly has launched a new integration with Rockwell Collins’ ARINCDirect Flight Operations System (FOS®). The partnership gives charter operators who use FOS® the ability to quote instantly to PrivateFly’s global customer base, via their existing aircraft scheduling software.

The integration comes through a new API (Application Programming Interface), providing an enhanced link between PrivateFly’s customer-facing platform and the 300+ Part 135 aircraft operators in its network who use FOS® to streamline their flight operations.
PrivateFly’s technology offers business aviation customers the ability to search and compare charter pricing from a global network of over 2,500 aircraft operators. Its platform is already integrated with other leading scheduling software providers, but says the integration with FOS® is a key milestone for its USA expansion, given the software’s popularity with US aircraft operators.
Adam Twidell, CEO of PrivateFly comments: “Integrating with FOS® is an exciting milestone for PrivateFly’s expansion in the USA. It means we have a compelling offering to PrivateFly’s 300+ US-based operators who use it: The opportunity to quote for our fast-growing pool of US flight requests quickly and easily, from within their existing scheduling software, and without interrupting their operational workflow.
“PrivateFly’s technology-based model is attracting fast growing interest from US business aviation customers, and this market now represents over 25% of our business. Integration with FOS® will accelerate this growth, as it means we can provide even faster charter pricing, from a larger share of our aircraft operator network”.
