What Avinode Group does

Avinode Group is a Gothenburg-based software company founded in 2002 that provides a connected workflow platform for the business aviation charter industry. Its core products are the Avinode marketplace, which connects charter brokers and operators globally for real-time aircraft sourcing and booking; Schedaero, a cloud-based flight operations suite covering scheduling, quoting, invoicing, flight and duty logging, and crew management; and Paynode, an integrated payment platform supporting cards, wires, and 24/7 member-to-member payments. The stack is delivered as cloud-based SaaS on Microsoft Azure with a multi-tenant, API-first architecture, and is accessible via web, iOS apps, and a developer API. The company claims to serve roughly 1,000 operator and broker companies worldwide and process about 1 million charter requests per month, stating 80% market penetration in business aviation.

The company monetizes through subscription-based Avinode memberships for operators and brokers, subscription fees for Schedaero flight operations software, and transaction-based fees on Paynode payment processing (with no signup fee, no subscription, and no monthly minimum). Distribution combines self-serve onboarding via web and mobile apps with regional enterprise field sales (EMEAA, Americas) and API-based OEM/embedded integrations. Customers include charter operators, brokers, corporate flight departments, and—following the May 2025 launch of a dedicated Air Ambulance Platform—medical transport operators. Avinode Group has offices in Gothenburg, Miami, and São Paulo and operates globally across EMEA, Americas, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Oceania.

Since 2020 the company was wholly owned by World Fuel Services (now World Kinect Corporation), and in March 2024 it was acquired by CAMP System International Inc., a Hearst-owned group of mission-critical aviation technology businesses (AMSTAT, CAMP AHM, FBO One, FlightBridge, ILS, etc.). Avinode Group maintains enterprise certifications including PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR compliance, CCPA, and EU Digital Services Act compliance. The company is led by CEO Oliver King, with co-founder Per Marthinsson serving as Chief Revenue Officer, and employs roughly 81 people across 13 nationalities.

Direct peers

• PrivateFly: PrivateFly is a global private jet booking platform offering instant online quotes and charter arrangements, now part of the larger Vista Global group. It competes with Avinode's marketplace for the same broker and end-client workflow.
• Victor (Wheels Up): Victor is an on-demand private jet charter marketplace with a transparent booking platform, currently operating within the Wheels Up ecosystem. It is comparable to Avinode in providing a tech-enabled broker and operator marketplace for business aviation.
• Stratajet: Stratajet is a real-time, transparent private jet booking marketplace similar to Avinode, enabling operators to list availability and brokers/clients to source, quote, and book charter flights online. It targets the same operator-broker workflow with comparable pricing transparency.
• Jettly: Jettly is an online private jet charter marketplace connecting travelers, brokers, and operators worldwide with instant booking and quoting functionality. It overlaps directly with Avinode in providing a digital platform for charter sourcing and transactions.

Broad incumbents

• FlightAware: FlightAware is a leading aviation data and flight tracking platform serving commercial, business, and general aviation. While broader than Avinode, it is comparable as a data-driven aviation SaaS business and could expand into adjacent workflow products.
• Wheels Up: Wheels Up is a major private aviation company with membership-based and on-demand charter offerings, supported by its own digital booking technology. Comparable to Avinode in operating a tech-enabled private aviation marketplace at greater scale.
• Vista Global (VistaJet): Vista Global is a large private aviation group operating VistaJet and owning PrivateFly. It is comparable to Avinode as a broader business aviation platform with integrated sales, operations, and digital booking capabilities.

Others

• AMSTAT (CAMP Systems): AMSTAT provides business aviation market intelligence (aircraft valuations, fleet data) and is also part of the CAMP Systems portfolio. It is adjacent to Avinode as a data and intelligence vendor serving the same business aviation customer base.
• FlightBridge (CAMP Systems): FlightBridge is a sibling company within CAMP Systems' portfolio providing trip logistics software for FBOs and operators. As part of the same parent ecosystem, it offers complementary - rather than competing - capabilities to Avinode's marketplace.

Emerging players

• Tapjets: Tapjets is an app-based private jet booking marketplace focused on empty-leg and on-demand charter, with partial overlap to Avinode's marketplace. It represents a more mobile-first, emerging alternative to incumbent charter platforms.
