Online aviation industry marketplace Alpha Wingman (formerly MRO Insider) is now offering cost-free memberships for FBOs. According to the company, the move will provide its FBO members access to its customer network of aircraft owners, operators, and fleet managers totaling more than 5,000 individual tail numbers.
Through its platform, participating FBOs will receive immediate pings for service requests within a 100-mile radius of their location. The Alpha Wingman application will allow users to request pricing from qualified providers, and FBOs can respond immediately with competitive quotes and rapid response times.
“We are excited to offer this unique opportunity to FBOs worldwide,” said company co-founder Andy Nixon. “Our mission is to create a collaborative and efficient aviation community where every member can thrive with direct pricing, cutting out passthrough charges.”
Alpha Wingman offers its customers a suite of services such as AOG support and quote requests for parts, scheduled maintenance, detailing, ground service equipment, ground transportation, FBOs, and catering.
“By trialing our platform for FBOs, we are removing barriers and fostering a more accessible and streamlined process for all involved by taking feedback and molding a win-win product,” concluded Nixon.
