A new internet search engine is hoping to change how travelers engage with private jet companies in the future. Charter Hound has been specifically designed to give flyers more options by indexing an ever-growing list of charter specific databases, including a more diversified list of transport providers and aircraft. This service is entirely free to curious customers, marking another distinction.
Most jet charter websites do not openly list prices or fleet information. Instead, users typically have to submit personal information or pay an upfront fee in order to examine their options. Charter Hound has made clear that it believes this process is not only uninviting, but counter-intuitive. The only time there is a prompt for personal data is when a user has decided to book a flight.
The reigning practice in the charter world has been for individuals and businesses to enter into fractional ownership of jets or become members of exclusive jet card programs. Both these options were extremely expensive and edged casual charter seekers out of the market by being cost prohibitive. Now, Charter Hound invites that demographic back with its free and comprehensive service.
In order to sway potential clients, the site has gone through the process of becoming accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has implemented the highest security standards to protect transaction. While the firm does not provide flights itself, it works closely with its transport partners to make sure all safety standards are being met and travelers are having the best flights possible.
