Overall, the private
jet industry has been very sluggish over the past few years due to a sluggish
global economy. Cautious corporate executives, fearing usage of the corporate
owned private jet due to backlash from activist hedge fund managers and other large
shareholders, has also restrained the growth of this sector. The private jet
transportation sector had begun growing since 1986 when a company called
NetJets introduced a timesharing type of arrangement called fractional
ownership of aircraft. While this type of business grew for a while, partial
ownership, creating scheduling chaos and dealing with occasional empty flights,
has generated questions as to whether this business model even works.
However, having the
ability to drive up directly to your flight and move your baggage directly from
your car to the plane has great appeal to individuals and business executives
that do not want to contend with checking in luggage at a terminal and waiting
in a line to be looked over by a TSA agent. Private aviation also offers
greater flexibility in destinations as access is broadened to over 5,000
airports in the United States, versus the 500 largest airports reserved for the
commercial airlines. Throw in great time savings as you have no lengthy
layovers to contend with, greater in-flight productivity, and five star
services, and one can see why this industry would have wide appeal to those
that use it.
Hence air
chartering, which is renting an entire aircraft, as opposed to an individual
seat by purchasing an airline ticket, has been the one segment experiencing
great growth. A new crop of charter businesses is offering customers the
abilities to compare costs and book flights, while simultaneously aiding jet
owners fill empty seats and not deal with the expense of an empty leg. Indeed,
this past March 14, CNN Business highlighted air charter company PrivateFly,
which experienced tremendous growth since it began operations in 2007. No one
company dominates this industry. As IBIS World indicated, in a $15 billion
dollar industry, over 22,000 companies are in the air charter business, and the
industry is highly fragmented.
On The Move Systems
is well positioned to be the Expedia of the private aviation charter services
sector with its core technology, the ITSx platform. The game changer for On The
Move Systems will be the utilization of smartphones, iPads, and other mobile
technologies to book flights and manage a client’s flight profile. The company
continues to add to its product offerings to provide clientele the ability for
complete intermodal transportation through its joint venture partner, JetSet
Car Service, a provider network that connects nearly 2000 limousine operators
in 24 countries around the world. With the ability to compete alongside
Priceline.com, TripAdvisor.com, and Expedia, On The Move Systems is prepared to
become the dominant online booking portal for air chartering.
