Stockport entrepreneur aims to make private jet hire more accessible with his latest venture.
Ged Hogan, who lives in Stockport and has 15 years’ experience in the aviation sector has launched PartyJet, an online booking service based in Didsbury, and is targeting stag and hen parties, golf and ski parties as well as people seeking to book a private jet to attend sporting events.
Mr Hogan said: “Traditionally, booking private aircraft has been complicated. For example, you had to arrange pilots and work out the fuel costs as well as the routes. But our Avinode software, a fully automated scheduling system, is linked to more than 3,000 aircraft and routes anywhere in the world.
“Private jet hire is seen as something exclusive for the business executive, the rich and famous, but I want to target people who may want to book an aircraft to fly to a holiday destination, or for stag and hen parties.
“It is also perfect for those extra-special occasions, such as weddings and honeymoons.
“The key is that the booking process has been made simple and can be completed in 90 minutes.”
Ged added: “One of the most convenient aspects of jet hire is that customers don’t have to go through major airports. There are hundreds of smaller commercial airports, which are easy to reach to and less time-consuming.”
