Core offering

Monarc Global provides a SaaS-based Global Distribution System (GDS) called Travech that automates the pricing of charter quotes for private aviation operators, charter companies, and travel agents, replacing manual quote generation with a centralized cloud-based platform.

Product overview

Monarc Global offers a single unified product called Travech, an in-house built aviation pricing software and Global Distribution System (GDS) for private aircraft charter operators. Travech functions as a comprehensive pricing engine and booking platform that automates the quoting process, calculates real-time prices incorporating fuel stops, weather predictions, routing and add-ons, and enables online booking and payment processing. The platform is accessible via an internal management interface, an embeddable external widget for operator websites, and API integration for third-party aggregation systems. Monarc Global operates on a subscription model with Partner and Operator pricing tiers.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Avinode: Avinode is the incumbent private aviation GDS, providing operators, brokers, and charter companies with fleet listings, availability, pricing and booking tools. It is the most direct comparable to Monarc's Travech, addressing the same charter quoting and distribution workflow for non-scheduled aircraft.
• FlightBridge: FlightBridge is a private aviation technology platform offering operators quoting, trip management, and broker connectivity. It competes head-to-head with Travech in automating the manual charter quoting and booking workflow for operators and brokers.
• PrivateFly: PrivateFly is a UK-based private jet booking platform and broker offering instant online quoting and charter booking. Like Monarc, it targets the same end customer pain of slow, manual charter pricing and operates a similar self-service quoting model.
• Paramount Business Jets: Paramount Business Jets is a US private jet charter broker and technology-forward operator offering instant online quoting for charter flights. Its instant-pricing model directly parallels Travech's automated quoting value proposition for end customers.
• Stratos Jet Charters: Stratos Jet Charters is a US charter broker and operator with proprietary booking technology for instant charter quotes and operator fleet management. It overlaps with Monarc's combined broker and operator SaaS positioning.

Emerging players

• BlackBird: BlackBird is a US on-demand private flight booking app focused on empty-leg and per-seat private flights. While narrower in scope, it competes for the same end-customer "instant charter pricing" use case that Travech enables for operators.
• CharterUP: CharterUP is a US private aviation marketplace offering instant online charter pricing and booking, with a focus on group and event travel. It overlaps with Travech's aggregator and instant-pricing capabilities for the charter end market.

Regional players

• LunaJets: LunaJets is a leading European private jet charter broker and operator offering online booking technology. Comparable to Monarc in delivering instant private aviation pricing, with a primarily European geographic focus.

Broad incumbents

• Amadeus: Amadeus is a global commercial GDS that processes airline, hotel, and travel distribution at massive scale. Although focused on scheduled aviation, it represents the dominant distribution infrastructure model Monarc is replicating for the private aviation vertical.

Others

• FlightAware: FlightAware is the leading provider of flight tracking, ADS-B data, and aviation operational data feeds, including schedule and availability data (OAG/SSIM-adjacent). Comparable as a foundational aviation data infrastructure provider whose data capabilities Monarc could integrate or compete with.
