A brand new company - TheJetService.com - with a vision to revolutionise the way airport ground services are sourced, selected and purchased has been launched this week. The concept of aviation specialist, Gary Langhorn - who has over 20 years experience within the sector including positions at Servisair, First Choice Airways and Harrods Aviation - TheJetService.com is simplifying every aspect of arranging airport and support services.
The business is aimed at aviation professionals who arrange and purchase services for private and commercial flights. To date, many high profile customers have been secured and include aircraft operators, pilots, schedulers & despatchers, flight planners, brokers and corporate travel organisers. The company will add real value to its clients by solving the challenges of frustrating communications, pre-flight cost transparency and the complications that come with utilising multiple suppliers.
TheJetService.com can be used as either a simple tool to research and evaluate airport and supplier options or as an online management platform to request quotes, make bookings and assist with payment transactions. It uniquely combines a comprehensive public directory of European airports and airport service suppliers with an online booking and payment facility.
The key benefits for customers are that it saves time, can reduce operating costs, and allows for the simple management of quotes, handling requests and service instructions. It is also fully accessible anytime, anywhere, with total privacy and security.
500 of the busiest European airports and over 4,000 supplier services are listed in the directory and the suppliers actively engage with TheJetService.com to manage their service profiles and provide quotes and booking confirmations. These suppliers vary from FBOs, handling agents, jet fuel suppliers, supervision agents, aircraft caterers, aircraft cleaners as well as limousine and helicopter transfer companies.
Gary Langhorn, director of The Jetservice.com commented; 'After many years of working within the industry, myself and the team recognised the need for a unique service such as this. We want to simplify the process for our clients and suppliers in an easy to use format that adds real value. Many people see the arrangement of airport services as a time consuming, expensive and complicated process so our vision is to be focused and to continually develop the service based on actual customer needs.'
