Avi-Go Business Aviation Data Platform Adds AI Search Bot

Charter flight and data platform Avi-Go is expanding the information it offers to business aviation subscribers. Next month, the Singapore-based start-up aims to go live with a new version of its AI-backed AviBot to allow users to pose questions to its database covering aircraft movements, airports, service providers, and trip planning.

According to Avi-Go, it aims to support a broader array of clients than established charter marketplaces such as Avinode, while also offering an alternative to business aviation data sources such as JetNet. In addition to aircraft operators and brokers, subscribers include maintenance, repair, and overhaul groups, as well as FBOs and aircraft sales organizations.

Aircraft tracking is based on ADS-B data and the established Flight Radar app, with Avi-Go filtering tail numbers to isolate Part 135 and Part 91 operations from airline movements. Users can search for charter options on routes with price estimates based on historical quotes and aircraft positioning. A Trip Board feature allows users to post empty leg flight availability and quote requests, and the Aviation Lookup channel can be used to search for data on specific aircraft, airports, and operators.

Avi-Go’s developers are now working on additional features, including range comparisons and route calculators. According to Sean Ng, the company’s commercial head, AviBot will serve as “a ChatGPT for business aviation.”
