Operation Long Reach in Germany was taken on in characteristically German style: efficiently. Five airfields, six operators, three days. The team started the week off talking to Star Wings in Dortmund. After a successful meeting, we made our way to Mainz where we would spend the night and meet with AirGO the following day.
AirGO’s reputation preceded them and as expected, they did not fail to impress. The AirGO team challenged our CEO, Jonny with a multitude of questions that inspired us to present our software with meticulous detail. We live for the opportunity to showcase how robust the Stratafleet platform is and especially highlighted how our technology offers a more efficient and accurate solution. We then quickly regrouped before setting off to a meeting with MACH Airlines in Frankfurt and were pleased to discuss how Stratajet’s advanced technology is paving a more positive future for the industry. Jonny was also (very evidently) excited by the fact that he was speaking to a fellow pilot and so the meeting quickly took a more relaxed turn. As we parted ways, our team headed back to the Chieftain and took off for Stuttgart.
On Wednesday morning, Stratajet’s operator liaison team met up with SFD and had an interesting conversation about the end consumer in private aviation. We discussed how the industry is shrinking and the unfortunate reality facing consumers; they are either not being communicated to effectively or are being offset by the booking process. Cue Stratajet. The end consumer is at the core of everything we do. Our mission is to expand private aviation by making it more accessible, convenient and efficient. If you, just like SFD, are not convinced initially, I guarantee that one conversation with Jonny will change your mind. The challenge of consolidating an entire industry with a view to growth, is the essence of Stratajet’s business. We took a step back from demoing the Stratafleet platform with SFD to speak instead, about our vision.
Finally, we made our way to Munich to meet with MHS Aviation. As commonly found among operators, the sales team were aviation veterans. This enabled us to discuss Stratafleet and its benefits at a more sophisticated level, which led to yet another successful meeting. We also met with Air Independence who despite having such a busy day made time for us to sit with them and talk about Stratajet.
The week wasn’t finished yet. As soon as our last meeting was completed in Munich we were off to Salzburg.
