Down-Route's (Booth N731) aviation expense management and hotel booking platform is previewing for the first time in the U.S. during the NBAA convention. The app has had a large success rate with European aircraft operators and FBOs, with more than 120 companies signed up to use the technology.

The real-time collaboration runs under a web portal and mobile application, designed for private aviation’s operators and crews. Its paperless platform enables user to input receipts and expenditures, as well as book hotels and produce management reports.

“In addition to demonstrating clear money and time saving benefits through the use of the technology, the platform is free to use, providing further efficiencies,” said Down-Route CEO Andy Hudson. “We often get asked by customers what the catch is with Down-Route offering such a groundbreaking product without charge. We will be taking this opportunity to show how, even by maintaining very competitive hotel prices, we have the ability to provide our entire system to business aviation companies at no cost to them.”
