While expanding their offerings, flight reservations and billing will remain with the respective programs.
“This collaboration is a tremendous value-add for our clients,” said PlaneSense president and CEO George Antoniadis. “We have come to know Jetfly well over the years and we share the same values on safety, service, and aircraft maintenance.”
