This playbook defines how charter brokers use API data to discover, evaluate, and present aircraft for charter or lease. It provides guidance for applying aircraft availability, technical suitability, maintenance context, operator relationships, market signals, and client-ready visuals to support efficient sourcing and client engagement.
Key Principles
Bulk-first, CRM-ready sourcing: Build and maintain a working aircraft universe using bulk data, structured for downstream CRM, quoting, and outreach workflows.
Evaluation through combination: Assess charter suitability by combining aircraft data, maintenance history, operator context, flight activity, and market intelligence rather than relying on any single signal.
Client-ready presentation: Use visuals and supporting details selectively to validate suitability and support clear, client-facing recommendations.
