Levo, an AI-native and SaaS company serving small, medium and large sized charter operators and brokers, is partnering with Portside, a provider of cloud-based solutions for business aviation serving thousands of customers and over 15,000 aircraft around the world.
Through this partnership, all customers of Portside subsidiary BART will seamlessly integrate with Levo's entire product suite and will also automatically be able to market their aircraft and empty legs on Levo's consumer-facing marketplace, a dedicated B2C platform that allows vetted and qualified subscribers to purchase private charter flights working directly with the aircraft operator. The Levo.Aero competitive advantage is its robust affiliate network of charter aircraft that will provide customers with real flights to select from in real-time and accurate operator-specific pricing.
Levo has recently unveiled a proprietary AI tool and model around flight sourcing and empty leg optimisation as part of its enterprise resource planning (ERP), with first-of-its-kind SmartInbox capabilities that dramatically streamline the back-office operations of its subscribed operators. Levo is led by industry veteran Joe Moeggenberg. As CEO, Mr. Moeggenberg brings more than 40 years of experience in the Part 135 space and significant learnings, relationships and insights to finally tackle some of the longstanding challenges the charter industry has struggled to solve.
“The industry is rapidly evolving, requiring more sophisticated, efficient approaches to meet operational demands,” says Moeggenberg. “This has never been more important for the small and medium sized Part 135 operators. The Levo.Aero team and technological abilities are equipped and perfectly timed to tackle these challenges and modernise the industry for the next 20 or more years.”
The Levo platform will provide unmatched technology resources to all of Portside's BART customers, including operations management, streamlining all client communications and internal workflows, as well as expanding their overall reach with qualified customers.
“We're excited to partner with Levo.Aero to give BART operators new ways to grow their business,” notes Grey East, associate director, business development of Portside. “By connecting directly to Levo's marketplace and leveraging its AI-powered tools, our customers gain more control, efficiency and access to high-quality demand while continuing to manage their operations on the platform they know and trust.”
