GetJet launches Covid-19 essential travel advice map

Following the Covid-19 lockdown directives issued by countries around the world, GetJet co-founder Alexander Koninsky soon recognised the difficulties faced in gathering in an efficient manner reliable information about who could travel internationally under these restrictions. Having seen the lack of information and how time consuming it was to actually establish information, he immediately created a task force team within GetJet to create the Covid-19 Map, which was released on the 28th of April.

"The map is updated regularly as and when new information is received by each country," says Koninsky. "With the daily changes this is very important, especially now with the easing of the lockdown restrictions in several countries."

Professionals within the industry will appreciate having such a tool as it has many advantages:

- Reducing workload for operators, who would normally have many queries from either direct customers or the global broker community.

- Brokers will appreciate this too as they have one centralised source of information and need not wait for replies from operators to their queries.

- Passengers will get the information that they need quicker and hence booking decisions will also be easier and quicker to make.

The map and its content are available to all and Koninsky hopes that GetJet's contribution to kick starting travel again shows the industry has not remained idle but continues to thrive on development and improvement.

GetJet.com was established in 2017 as a marketplace for the use of business aviation operators and brokers, optimising sales of operators' empty legs through direct API feeds from scheduling software into GetJet's IT solution search engine.
