The openingWhy this idea is overlooked
The charter market runs on B2B software that connects brokers to operator availability, generates quotes, and manages trips, and one platform (Avinode) is so dominant it is nearly synonymous with the category. That dominance makes people assume the space is settled, but there are underserved segments (specific regions, aircraft types, workflow niches, operator back-office) where focused tooling can win. It is overlooked because it requires both software skill and deep charter-workflow knowledge, a rare combination.
