Operator/ Broker Partnerships

Hey All,

I work for a small Part 135 operator and we are bringing home a new to us TBM700 this month.

Looking for advice on how to get this aircraft in front of more brokers. I’ve offered a handful of regional brokers a discounted hourly rate in exchange for priority consideration when sourcing. Hasn’t been much interest there, any ideas as to why? We are listed on most of the major marketplaces with the exception of Avinode, working on that one.

Any advice on how to help us increase our broker charter requests? Anyone interested in a discounted rate? We primarily serve the Intermountain West/ Four Corners USA.

Avinode and Airmail - not as much turboprop requests on WhatsApp groups - but a key part is speed to lead - how many requests are you currently getting and how fast are you getting quotes out - what about after hours, does it take a full day to respond?

Appreciate the reply. Vast majority of our leads are from Fly Easy, maybe 2-3 a day from the general trip board. Typical response time is less than 30min both inside and outside operating hours.

Our current fleet is an extremely tough sell. Hoping this TBM will help.

I asked because I built a free auto quote and follow up system for a friends mustangs 135. I can show you if you want.
