Airble

Airble is an instant flight booking marketplace for both domestic and international flights, showcasing all types of aircraft based on the journey. The Airble platform allows users to choose a suitable time and place for the departure, view transparent fixed pricing, calculated at the moment of the booking, and pay instantly without any hassle. Airble also allows clients to book empty flights.

An empty leg flight occurs when an aircraft flies without passengers either to a pickup point or back home after a drop-off; therefore, it is always sold at a discount to maximize revenue. The charter aviation landscape is inefficient, with an estimated 40% of private flights flying empty.

To supply the marketplace, we enable air operators to manage complex flight routes and sell services through our sophisticated software, charging commissions and technology fees in return.

With this centralized platform, travellers can easily search and book helicopters, seaplanes, piston/turbo engine aircraft, and business jets. By filling these empty or shared flights with travellers heading to the same destination, we are reducing unnecessary travel emissions to help Canada reach net zero.

Since launch at the end of 2022, we’ve onboarded over 50,000 users, 200,000 app downloads and generated just under half a million in flight sales from 126 aircraft across Canada and US. Airble is in scale up mode and looking for capital injection to expand.

The Team:

Airble's journey is powered by a dynamic team of seasoned professionals who bring a wealth of expertise from diverse backgrounds. Led by CEO and Founder Saeed Golzar, a pilot with over a decade of flying experience across various aircraft, including Airbus A320s, Boeing MD83s, seaplanes and helicopters, the team combines deep industry knowledge with innovative thinking. Saeed's unique blend of aviation insights and an MBA form the foundation of Airble's vision.

Anojh Thayaparan, the Chief Technology Officer, lends his expertise in software engineering and complex technical solutions. With a background in founding a software consulting firm and working on critical projects like building security infrastructure for BC Courts, Anojh's contributions drive Airble's proprietary algorithms and technological advancements.

The advisory board, comprised of industry veterans Sarver Minwalla and Farah Faruqi, infuse the team with financial and business acumen and aviation technology insights, respectively. Their guidance strengthens Airble's strategic decisions and direction.

Backing the leadership team are four skilled software developers and one marketing specialist who ensure seamless platform development and effective market outreach.

Opportunity:

Current market incumbents include booking engines that embed scheduling functionality into websites, sophisticated logistics solutions for managing aircraft, and distribution channels where operators can promote their services. Each of these serves as a feature of the Airble platform, and no other company has managed to combine all three, let alone within a scalable single-commit marketplace infrastructure.
