PRIVATEFLY CONTINUES INTEGRATION WITH TRAVEL INDUSTRY

Online private jet booking service, PrivateFly.com, has appointed Alex Nott into the new role of website manager. This follows hot-on-the-heels of the recent partnership announcement with lastminute.com, where PrivateFly will provide online search and booking services for private jet charter through the online travel retailer.

Nott brings over 10 years' experience in online travel industry roles, most recently as marketing manager at Railbookers, and prior to that she worked for Online Travel Company managing a portfolio of travel websites including ferrybooker.com, bargainholidays.com, ifyougolf.com and a2btravel.com.

Nott's key objectives at PrivateFly will be to improve site usability for customers and to further streamline the company's online offering for travel trade partners, including its white label product and agent-friendly interface.

PrivateFly is a unique business model in the private jet industry, bringing the online search and price aggregation functionality already commonplace in other travel sectors to the traditionally 'offline' world of private jet travel. The company is undergoing expansion plans following their successful first round of investment funding earlier this year and is also currently looking for an experienced travel industry sales professional to join the sales team.

Carol Cork, marketing director of PrivateFly, commented: "Alex's appointment is a significant step forward in our expansion plans. Her online travel experience gives us invaluable best practice from other travel sectors and will allow us to further enhance our offering to travel trade partners, making it even quicker and easier for them to sell private jet charter." Alex Nott added: "It's exciting to be joining PrivateFly at what is such a key time for the business. I am looking forward to having the opportunity to work for a brand that is pioneering online technology in its market, and bringing private jet booking online."
