Digital startup Jetaxia has launched an online booking platform that aims to simplify the process of scheduling interior and exterior aircraft detailing with vetted companies across the U.S. It seeks to solve what Jetaxia founder Braxton Getz sees as “a real pain point” for Part 91/135 operators and management companies through an integrated single platform that can coordinate the detailing process from booking to aircraft arrival.
Noting that scheduling professional detailing often requires “multiple phone calls, no visibility into vendor quality, and constant follow-ups,” Jetaxia offers a tail-number-based “matchmaking” service. “We see a gap between how critical [aircraft] appearance is and how manual [the booking process] remains,” Getz told AIN.
Jetaxia is also the first detailing software solution to pair with technology booking platform FlightBridge. Integration with flight-tracking app FlightAware automatically informs service providers of arrival delays or diversions.
Every prospective vendor looking to join Jetaxia is vetted. “We look at their experience in aviation, insurance and documentation, airport and FBO access at the fields they cover, and the products and equipment they use,” explained Getz. “Once approved, we onboard them with clear service definitions and pricing so operators know exactly what they’re getting and from whom.”
Getz said feedback from operators, FBOs, and software providers is positive. The company also plans to launch an FBO and flight crew third-party portal while continuing to expand its coverage.
