A group of business aviation industry veterans have launched Avtopia, an online platform that allows aviation professionals to connect and collaborate. The virtual community, which requires a login to access, has no subscription fees.
“Available in both app and web format, Avtopia provides features to allow everyone in aviation to come together to share ideas, promote and assist each other, and build a strong community for the future of our industry,” the group said. The app version is available at the Apple and Google Play stores.
The community includes business reviews and community forums, as well as listings of events. An app-only AOG feature, to be available soon, connects aircraft operators in AOG situations with service providers.
“With everything that a flight crew must manage on the ground, Avtopia AOG takes care of the rest. Avtopia AOG alerts the operators' dispatch and maintenance teams while also connecting them to vetted providers to quickly resolve the issue,” the group said.
