Taking Care of Business
Aircontact’s real job starts once a contract is signed. Whether it’s cargo or a passenger flight, there are myriad details to attend to before the aircraft gets airborne. Aircontact will coordinate all these details, ensuring the flight goes as arranged with minimal client involvement. Aircontact does not stop working until the aircraft is safely at its destination.
Movement Control
Aircontact always provides available movement reports to its clients so that everyone is updated on aircraft departure and estimated arrival time. This means the client can track the flight and everyone involved can make the necessary arrangements in good time. An all-too-common sight is a receiving party waiting for a flight but with no information; something we avoid at all costs. Where possible, we will also be present at the airport, ensuring that we always have the best possible information.
Safety and Responsibility
Since Aircontact is an air broker, the final contract will normally be prepared by the airline and the person/company chartering the aircraft. The airline must ensure that all certificates, insurance etc. comply with regulations, as overseen by the national civil aviation authorities. However, we also carry out our own reference checks. Aircontact acts as broker for all sorts of aircraft from all over the world. Our principals are kept updated on which companies are involved.
Financial Aspects
Aircontact is part of the Aircontact Group, which is actively involved in various sectors of the travel industry and has a gross turnover of approximately USD 600 million. We have a solid capital base, with good annual results, and since we are AAA rated, our performance level is consistently high.
All payments for charter flights go to Aircontact, which takes care of onward payment to the airlines. Your financial exposure is thus minimized since you avoid paying large sums to unfamiliar airlines with foreign bank accounts. At Aircontact, we know our suppliers well and better understand the risks. As client, you can avoid such uncertainty and rest assured that your payment has gone to a secure, AAA-rated Norwegian company.
