Connecticut-based aircraft brokerage Guardian Jet (static display), which is showcasing five aircraft for sale here at NBAA, signed a deal this week with Down-Route, the in-development expense management and hotel booking app. “We have employees that work across the globe, so having the ability to control expenses and hotel bookings easily, with information fed straight back to our head office, is extremely attractive to us,” said Guardian Jet managing partner Don Dwyer.
According to Down-Route CEO Andy Hudson, “The fact that Guardian Jet, a leading aviation brokerage firm, has seen the benefits Down-Route can bring to its growing organization shows that we are truly an essential tool for the whole business aviation industry.”
More than 70 operators representing more than 2,000 jets have expressed interest in using the free app, which is “ready to launch,” according to Down-Route. Available for both Android and iOS devices, Down-Route plans to incorporate social media apps and restaurant and theater bookings to the app after launch.
