VOO, an innovative B2B software platform for booking business aviation flights, announces the
arrival of its new empty leg feature in time for the Air Charter Expo (ACE24) on September 10th. This
customized addition responds to market demand, offering brokers and operators a dedicated tool for
efficiently visualizing as well as utilizing empty flights and providing cost-effective flight options to their clients. The VOO team will be introducing the new empty leg functionality at booth 81.
This essential new feature empowers brokers to efficiently search, and filter available empty legs
based on their specific criteria. By inputting departure and arrival locations and defining a relevant
search radius, as well as preferred departure dates, brokers can easily identify suitable options and
good deals. By expanding the data source to include empty legs from both VOO bookings and
connected flight management systems, VOO ensures a wider selection of empty-leg-options for
brokers to choose from, increasing the chances of finding suitable options for their clients. Brokers can find cost-effective empty legs and request a price for these flights directly through the system. This enables brokers to offer attractive deals to their clients while converting empty flights into passenger flights.
This innovative tool not only benefits brokers but also offers operators a seamless way to manage and
benefit from empty sectors. Once a broker submits a price request for a suitable empty leg, a flight
folder is automatically created, allowing the operator to review the calculated price based on the
requested number of passengers and adjust it if necessary or directly send the flight folder as a booking offer to the broker, initiating the booking process.
VOO’s empty leg feature ensures transparent communication and facilitates bookings. Brokers initially
do not see the price until the operator changes the status to “booking offer,” providing clarity and
control throughout the process. The broker would be informed of the price once the operator changes
the status to “booking offer,” and the broker can then proceed to book the flight by accepting the
“booking offer.”
“VOO’s intelligent system automatically calculates discounts on empty sectors, making itself a
valuable tool for brokers and operators. While our platform has always considered positioning sectors
in pricing calculations, now we are introducing a dedicated empty leg section to make them visible and
to meet market demand. This feature provides even greater transparency and allows operators to easily
identify potential cost savings.” – Robert Plhak, CEO at VOO flights.
VOO is committed to continuous improvement and will be introducing additional features and
expansions of the empty leg functionality in the coming weeks to make this feature even more
powerful and user-friendly.
