A Leading Business Aviation Event

Held every year in the U.S., the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) calls all business aviation professionals under one roof. In 2019, that roof belongs to the Las Vegas Convention Center at Henderson Executive Airport (HND).

Aviation is a wide, far-reaching industry. That’s why we find it so important to stay connected. What better way to touch base than at NBAA 2019? We can’t wait to touch down in Nevada!

Live Trip Alerts: Set It & Exit

While we’re at NBAA-BACE, our team is excited to be presenting the CharterPad platform’s latest features. One that we’re especially proud of is our Live Trip Alerts. We know how hectic the business of air charter can be. That’s why we designed this feature to help brokers and operators stay off the platform and keep their focus where it’s really needed.

Using CharterPad, it’s as simple as giving us your requirements and sitting back while the system searches for the best match. As soon as we find the right fit, real-time updates are sent directly to you by SMS, email and / or app notification. This way, you can stay ahead of the curve without being tethered to the platform.

Above all, each one of our features is created with the user in mind. Your convenience is our absolute priority.

Charter platform’s first conference following recent acquisition – SDC2019

Miami, 16 Jan 2019 – CharterPad is set to return to the 2019 Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference (SDC2019) in San Antonio, Texas, as an exhibitor from 29 January to 1 February. This is the company’s first conference since a recent acquisition by Click Aviation Network at the end of 2018.

SDC2019 is held annually by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) in cities around the U.S. at the start of each new year. The conference draws business aviation professionals from around the country and across the globe. During the event, they look forward to networking and learning about new advancements in the industry.

“We originally built CharterPad as a tool to help our aircraft management charter business. After our success, my late partner Adam Klein thought to share this tool with other charter operators and charter brokers in hopes to accelerate the growth of our industry. Today, we still stand behind the same principle – to not just grow your business but to grow the industry around you.”

–  CharterPad CEO, Mr. Jason Johnson

Within five years, CharterPad grew into one of the leading charter tools for operators and brokers in the U.S. In 2019, the company now enters a new phase following its acquisition by global aviation services company Click Aviation Network.

“We will soon offer more services like international trip support, instant permits, contract fuel and ground support. At its core, CharterPad will remain a charter portal through the Click network. Our trip boards will now offer global integration with aircraft schedules, offering our brokers more transient opportunities.”

–  Mr. Jason Johnson

Following the acquisition, CharterPad continues to provide effective solutions for charter professionals across the industry. During SDC2019, we look forward to meeting our fellow aviation peers. We also hope to continue our efforts to make aircraft management and operations run smoothly and efficiently for all.

“Within the next six months, CharterPad will adopt a new look and global integration throughout the Click network, but our core value and mission will always be the same. I look forward to the success of our industry and I am so honored to leave off where Adam started.”

–  Mr. Jason Johnson

Global aviation network expands with acquisition of US-based charter platform

Dubai, 7 Jan 2019 – CharterPad, an online platform for air charter professionals, has been acquired by Click Aviation Network, a global network of aviation partners specializing in trip support services.

“This is an important step in our exciting journey. It enriches Click’s Collective Intelligence and places a network of opportunities in the hands of operators and charter brokers.”

–  Click Aviation Network Founder & CEO, Mr. Aiham Bader

CharterPad is an air charter search platform with headquarters in the U.S. The company was founded in 2011 and runs a member business model, promoted as The Global Jet Charter Exchange.

CharterPad’s platform enables operators’ available fleets to appear on the Trip Board, a proactive and innovative flight search platform that allows users to filter by trip types, dates, and route. In addition, other features of the tool include virtual assistance, trip alerts, aircraft search, company profile access and an airport locator.

Meanwhile, with a live database of over 20,000 aircraft available worldwide for charter and cargo, CharterPad offers versatile digital solutions to charter brokers and operators through one, user-friendly platform.

“We are certain that Click Aviation Network and its Omega technologies will greatly benefit CharterPad members, as well as the entire ecosystem as a whole. We are proud to be building upon a foundation that will serve the aviation community for years to come.”

–  Click Aviation Network Co-Founder & CIO, Mr. Ehsan Shaheen

Likewise, CharterPad’s buyer, Click Aviation Network, developed a similar platform in 2016, called Click Omega. While this platform also offers a database of information in one location, Click Omega takes this concept one step forward. This is achieved through the added value of Click’s networking concept.

“We celebrate the recent acquisition of CharterPad by Click Aviation Network, as we bring these two companies together to allow our clients to expand beyond the shores of the United States and enable a direct link to every charter operator, broker, FBO, ground handler, catering company and other aviation professional that is within Click’s network.”

–  CharterPad CEO, Mr. Jason Johnson

Click Aviation Network is built on the concept of global connectivity in the aviation industry. Above all, the company enhances efficiency and reduces risk through innovative solutions. Therefore, users gain access to a network of aviation professionals through Click Omega. Subsequently, within the platform, players utilize their combined expertise to carry out aviation activities at greatly reduced costs. In short, this includes flight planning, ground handling, aircraft charter, catering and other operations.

As a result, acquiring CharterPad expands Click’s ability to serve the North American market. This move also enhances CharterPad’s existing capabilities and potential for growth in the coming years.

“We couldn’t be more excited about joining forces with Click Aviation Network and to accomplish our shared vision of connecting the private aviation industry through intelligent technology. Their expertise in creating operational efficiency will only enhance our service offering for our members buying and selling aircraft charter around the world.”

–  CharterPad President, Mr. Armando Antonini

Furthermore, CharterPad’s current customers will see improvements in the existing system with a new layer of artificial intelligence software. However, the transition will be seamless, with no major disruptions or loss of existing data for CharterPad users.

Mr. Jason Johnson and Mr. Armando Antonini, CharterPad’s current CEO and President, will remain on the CharterPad board while welcoming Click CEO Mr. Aiham Bader as Chairman and Click CIO Mr. Ehsan Shaheen as CTO.
