Stop checking 6 different websites to find a semi-private flight. Aviato pulls routes from JSX, Tradewind, BARK Air, Aero, and more into one search. Compare prices, times, and amenities side by side, then book directly with the airline. Semi-private means 30-seat jets, private terminals, no TSA lines, and fares from $99/seat. Most people don't know these flights exist because they don't show up on Google Flights or Kayak. No markup. No affiliate fees. Just search and book.

I built a search engine for semi-private airlines (aviatoair.com). Problem: Airlines like JSX, Tradewind, BARK Air, and Aero don't appear on Google Flights, Kayak, or any aggregator. You have to check each site individually. Solution: Aviato scrapes public flight data from these carriers and puts it in one searchable interface. Compare prices, schedules, and amenities. Click through to book directly with the airline.

Month 1 update: 2K visitors, real bookings, still stuck on growth

Quick recap if you missed it: semi-private airlines don't show up on Google Flights or anywhere. I built the only search engine that aggregates all of them in one place. One person, no funding.

Here's where I'm at after month one:

Over 2,000 people have visited the app. Multiple people have clicked through and actually booked flights through the airlines. Revenue model is CPC so I get paid on those click-throughs. The product clearly works. When people find it they use it.

But growth is still my biggest challenge. Most of that traffic came from posting on here and a couple other communities. I don't have a repeatable channel yet. SEO is slow, paid ads feel risky for something this niche, and I'm still figuring out whether to go directly to the airlines for partnerships or focus on content.

Flying used to be cool. We're helping bring that back.

Flying used to be an event.

People dressed up for it. The seats were wide. The food was real. You walked across the tarmac and up the stairs and felt like you were doing something kind of glamorous. Even if you were just going to Cleveland.

Now? Now you pay $400 to sit in a seat designed by someone who hates the human body. You board by group number like cattle. There's a fee for your bag. A fee for picking your seat. They'd charge you to breathe the cabin air if they could figure out how to meter it. The whole experience has been engineered to extract the maximum amount of money while delivering the minimum amount of dignity.

I got tired of it. So I started looking into alternatives and discovered something that genuinely shocked me: semi-private flights exist, they fly 40+ routes across the US, and some of them cost $200.
