Avian Solutions, a US company that utilises technical expertise and AI algorithms to improve aviation operations, is to provide discounted services for the pandemic-affected aviation industry.

The company says that few industries have been hit harder by the recent COVID-19 pandemic than the aviation industry. While the impact on commercial airlines made headlines, private aviation businesses and smaller charter operators have largely flown under the radar, due to the relative safety of fewer passengers and the ability to circumvent large international airports. Even so, charter operators, flight schools and other airlines often operate on slim profit margins, especially when just getting off the ground.

Avian has opted to double down on its investment in technology. Globally, it has increased its team size by just over 25 per cent since March. It wants to assist aviation organisations that have not been so fortunate. “We continue to believe the answers lie in technology,” states CEO Philip Nijnens. “If we can modernise the way these aviation organisations operate and interact with clients, using our AI algorithms, this in turn can increase their revenue while lowering costs. What's more this technology can enable employees to work from home or on the go.”

To assist the aviation industry during the COVID-19 recovery, Avian Solutions is offering limited time discounted pricing on its existing products and development services. Custom software development is offered at 60 per cent discount, free website development with a one year management agreement is on the table, while its white label web app and standard booking app have both been made free. Custom designed booking apps have been discounted to $1,250 per month, and access to JetOS remains free for all users.

“Our company is made up of former pilots and charter operators,” continues Nijnens. “And as always, we never charge if someone wants to reach out and hear our opinions. We're always here to support our clients and the industry we love.”
