We’ve been off to a busy start for this year’s EBACE in Geneva, getting closer to everyone in the industry, meeting new faces and rubbing friendly shoulders with old ones alike.

Henrik von Mentzer, Avinode International Sales Director, noted that Day One was a very busy show day, especially in the first few hours, it seemed every Noder was demoing to eager tradeshow goers and showing current members what’s new with the system (such as the super slick Trips feature and the Avinode Marketplace app). We had a lot of interest from FBOs and handling agents as they discovered how to reach new clients via Avinode and Schedaero. And of course it was great to get firsthand system feedback from our members and co-exhibitors: “Avinode is the key to saving time”, one was heard enthusing through the day.

It was interesting for us that some people are still seeing the system for the first time, especially with Schedaero, because so much development has taken place in the last 18 months. So for those visitors who viewed the system in the past, it now feels so fresh and new, with many being amazed how far it’s come.

News for some: the launch of the new Avinode.com website in early April caused usage of the Marketplace app to double! Check it out for yourselves here: Avinode Marketplace app

Johan Sjöberg, Schedaero Business Manager, said of the day, “Many new conversations are being had and connections to current members are being made stronger with feedback from Operators of every size,” proving the event to be an invaluable learning for all.

Day One overall takeout: It’s clear that the power lies with how smoothly Avinode and SchedAero work together.

We’ll keep you posted on what we learn from Day Two. As Johan optimistically noted: “Jet lag day two is better than day one.” True indeed, and the coffee helps too! More reports and winning observations soon.
