A new internet portal - Flightneeds.com - is to be launched to bring together information and essential products and services sought by the corporate and business aviation community in a single website.

Information available free to online members includes distance calculators, overflight requirements, runway lengths and advanced weather reports. The site also provides one-stop shopping for a variety of products and services used by the business and corporate aviation industry. Among the companies participating in Flightneeds.com are: Air BP, Jeppesen, Ac-u-Kwik, FlightTime.com and Pilotportal.com.

Company president David Linford said: "Flightneeds.com is intended as an independent, trusted, cost-effective source of key products and services for business pilots and their vip passengers. It also offers FBOs the means to increase their range of offerings to customers and distinguish themselves from their competitors.

"In short, this site is expected to become the leading single source of key products and services for the corporate aviation community at large."
