Aerios, the air cargo charter software company and member of CargoTech, has welcomed Texas-based carrier GTA Air as its latest partner airline, following its recent partnership with carrier Cargojet.
GTA Air has integrated Aerios' Carrier App platform into its operations, demonstrating the system's adaptability for both large wide-body carriers and smaller narrow-body operators. This collaboration highlights Aerios' vision to develop a flexible solution that serves the entire cargo charter market.
Operating in the fast-paced U.S. domestic on-demand charter market, GTA Air has seen significant benefits from Aerios' platform. These include a 66% reduction in quoting time, enabling the airline to deliver quotes to customers more quickly and boost its chances of winning business over competitors. The introduction of over-the-phone quoting has further accelerated response times, enhancing conversion rates. Meanwhile, integration with flight planning software has improved quote accuracy, ensuring estimated flight times account for actual wind conditions and aircraft performance.
“Every second matters when you're competing in the U.S. domestic on-demand market, so helping reduce the quoting time by several minutes can have a large commercial impact and help increase the chance of conversion,” said Simon Watson, Founder and CEO of Aerios. “Working with the team at GTA Air has been fantastic. Their team has put our system through its paces and proven it works just as well for smaller, fast-moving operators as it does for major intercontinental wide-body carriers. It's an exciting validation of the system's flexibility and positive real-world impact on speed.”
