Looking for a private flight or a tour of B.C.? Look no further, meet Airble, an aviation company focused on modernizing charter aviation. The aviation technology company recently launched an online platform for charter flights, air tours, and much more. Created by the company’s chief executive officer Saeed Golzar, the company currently has a fleet of 45 aircrafts, connecting users to more than 300 airports across British Columbia.

“As a Vancouver-based company, we launched our services here in Canada. Currently we are sitting at 18 air operators, listing 45 aircrafts, with bases in B.C., SK, ON., N.S., N.B., and even our first U.S. air operator in Florida. Though most of our partners are here in B.C., we are working to onboard many more aircrafts in Canada, the U.S., and the Caribbean. We are aiming to have U.S. flights available by the end of the summer, said an Airble representative.

The company’s main goal is to modernize the world for charter aviation, creating an easy-to-use marketplace that connects passengers directly with air operators, just like the digital transportation solutions that have grown in popularity over the recent years like Uber and Lyft. Golzar was motivated by two additional factors, the potential support to the tourism industry and the opportunity to support many small family-owned businesses who operate aircrafts.

Operating the app is simple, just like booking a flight or an uber, users just need to download the mobile App or visit Airble’s website, choose their departure and arrival locations, time and date, and select the aircraft they wish to board. Users will be able to see the price of each aircraft, set by flight operators, and get to know their pilots as well.

“By cutting out the middleman and showing users the prices for flights up front, we are making the charter aviation industry more accessible to every-day travellers and creating a singular location for air operators to showcase their offerings,” said an Airble representative.

In addition to charter flights, the company also offers discounted prices on empty leg flights, and air tours and excursions. They also have special events and deals throughout the year and have already conducted a few giveaways and special events.

“We do have many events that we are part of—we frequent most industry events, and we are part of many associations. In terms of deals, we ran a spring promotion a few weeks back for our users and are always planning more,” said an Airble representative.

As expected, the flying experience between taking a commercial airline and flying charter are quite different. The departure and arrival terminals are different, the size of the seats, access to any airport or aerodrome in Canada.

“When you fly charter, you leave from a private terminal instead of the main terminal. This means you get to skip the lines and crowds as well as the wait time. Secondly, a charter flight is going to be a more customized and personal experience, you get to pick the departure date, time, plane, seat, and have your pet come with you. Thirdly, an Airble charter flight can easily access any airport or aerodrome in Canada. With smaller aircrafts, you can get to more remote areas and smaller local airports, cutting out additional travel time,” said an Airble representative. The company operates in Richmond, at 303—5360 Airport Road South.
