Coastal Technologies Group and FlyPorts International, Inc. are set to introduce what is being described as the first of its kind real-time reservation system for charter flights.

The focus is on customised air travel option with the launch of Door2DoorAir.com and FlyPorts.com, scheduled for launch on Tuesday.

"Next generation technology is enabling safe and highly fuel efficient aircraft to provide this specialised air service, making it more available and affordable than ever before," said Richard Kane, CEO of CTGi, which will provide the software used on the sites.

"By utilising our optimisation modeling software, air service companies are able to network their operations in a practical and efficient way which was not available or economically feasible in the past," said Kane.

The flight reservation portal allows connectivity and access to multiple flight providers enabling travelers the ability to customise flight schedules, times, airport locations, cost, and even the type of aircraft they fly on.

Door2DoorAir provides direct, live booking capabilities, which have never before been available to the traveling public, said Sal Terranova, VP Sales and Marketing, CTGi.

"Our service allows you to book directly online with associated air taxi companies just like Travelocity and Expedia provide multiple airline, rental car and hotel choices. As an added feature, our booking engine will also incorporate ground-based transportation and lodging functionality in the very near future," said Terranova.

Door2DoorAir will begin its launch in association with the marketing efforts of FlyPorts, International. The promotional programmes at FlyPorts.com introduce local airports to potential air service travelers.
