German scheduled and charter operator Hahn Air Lines, based at Düsseldorf and Frankfurt Egelsbach airports, has announced a partnership with search and booking platform Returnjet.

The partnership was made possible by Returnjet's integration with the FL3XX operations software, which Hahn Air Lines uses, in July. As a result, the operator's charter inventory can now be accessed by more than 1,000 brokers worldwide.

“Our charter operations have already seen growth of more than 60 per cent this year when compared with 2016, and we are confident that this partnership will further contribute to our business success,” says chief development officer Simon Riha. “We are looking forward to optimising our processes and communication with brokers. Moreover we will, for the first time, have an effective solution to manage, offer and fill empty legs.”

Returnjet aviation director Steve Westlake adds: “Returnjet is the one of the fastest growing free online charter search and booking platforms for the global charter market. The recent integration with FL3XX is another important step in the development of our platform. Hahn Air Lines is a great addition to our portfolio of operators and we are very pleased to now offer its high quality product to our brokers.”

Hahn is also planning integrations with business to consumer online booking platforms such as Stratajet and Lunajets.
