Major airlines are spending between 2.5 & 3.5% of turnover on their IT systems as part of their strategy to maximize outcomes to all stakeholders. Smaller operators on average spend less than 0.5%.
Even the more proactive small-medium airlines tend to be stuck between under-achieving one-off software builds and expensive legacy software, which at best will only provide part of the solution.

Takeflite is an integrated end to end Cloud Computing solution, which provides many of the capabilities major carriers enjoy but at an affordable price. As fuel prices, competition and regulation increase, airlines and tour operators need to subscribe to a service like Takeflite. Takeflite is big enough to provide economy of scale and focused enough on its market niche to deliver value.
With Takeflite we have invested US$4.5M over the last 10 years creating a ground up cloud computing software solution for airlines and tour operators. We presently have 30+ customers across a variety of aviation and tour operator based industries across the globe.
The Takeflite vision extends towards the US business jet market, Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. If this vision interests you, we should talk. Note the nature of a growing online hi-tech international SaaS Cloud Computing company is such that if you want P&L statements for the last 3 years or a quick return for limited input, you should be looking elsewhere. This is a medium term opportunity requiring input from individuals & companies with an outstanding and relevant track record.
