Abstract: A method and system for aggregating travelers to transact air travel reservations with air travel suppliers, whereby travelers can purchase seats for private air travel on a per-seat basis and suppliers can solicit travelers on a central forum on a per-plane, per-flight basis. The method and system incorporates at least one database and a reservation engine in the form of one or more computers. The method and system is operable to receive flight information from air travel suppliers and display the information over the internet in the form of one or more Web pages. The method and system is further operable to receive reservation requests from travelers viewing the Web pages, and aggregate the requests to enable travelers to collectively purchase private air travel.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for matching aggregated traveler demand to available charter aircraft resources in a real-time manner without incurring costs for unused resources. The method is executed on one or more exemplary computing devices to ingest user requirements for travel, available asset planes, and by using administrative input values determine the best possible match based on the time of day, distance traveled, and equipment efficiency.
