Believe it or not 30+ years ago it cost $400 in broker commissions just to trade 100 shares of stock. The aviation industry is stuck in that past. Private fliers tolerate obsequious brokers and opaque pricing. Birdverse instantly connects the worlds best operators directly with private fliers to provide a plethora of options and full pricing transparency.
