Mach2

Mach2 is an online platform for sourcing private charter quotes. It is an accredited member of The Air Charter Association. Its registered address is on New Bridge Street in Witney, in the United Kingdom.

The idea

Mach2 says that sourcing a charter by calling operators one at a time is slow. It says travellers and brokers often rely on the same small circle of operators and that availability can change while they wait. Its answer is one request that goes to many operators at once.

How it works

1. Submit your request. Enter the route, travel dates, passenger count and aircraft preference.
2. Select your operators. Browse the directory and choose up to 20 that fit your route, region or aircraft type.
3. Receive direct responses. Each operator charter desk replies with its quote and availability, straight to your inbox.
4. Book and fly. You finalise the booking directly with the operator you pick.

The network

The company states a network of more than 450 verified operators and about 3,000 jets. It also says it covers about 800 routes. The directory can be filtered by region, fleet type and aircraft category.

Who it is for

Mach2 is built for anyone who sources private charter flights. That includes travellers booking for themselves and brokers sourcing for a client.

Cost

The company says there are no platform fees and no commissions on the booking made with the operator. It offers a 14 day trial. After that, check the current plan details on its site.

Mach2 does not fly aircraft itself. It is a tool that connects requests with operators, so it fits companies that buy and compare charter quotes often.
