Designing & Developing a Private Charter Booking Engine

Project Overview

Verijet, a leading private aviation charter service, partnered with 10 Pound Gorilla to modernize its website and develop a seamless, self-service booking engine. The new platform enhances usability, reduces reliance on phone-based reservations, and increases flight bookings through real-time availability, instant pricing, and online payment. Built with scalability, the booking engine integrates with Verijet’s internal flight operations and third-party systems, ensuring a smooth customer experience. To further extend digital engagement, 10 Pound Gorilla developed a native iOS and Android mobile app, enabling travelers to book flights, receive real-time updates, and access exclusive promotions.

What we focused on

Website & Booking Engine Development

Verijet’s new website and booking engine were designed to simplify the flight reservation process while maintaining operational efficiency. A core challenge was integrating real-time flight data into the user experience. To achieve this, 10 Pound Gorilla developed a booking engine that seamlessly connects with Verijet’s internal APIs and third-party tools and services, allowing users to:

Check flight availability and pricing dynamically.
Book, pay, and confirm flights instantly
Transmit reservation details directly to Verijet’s operations team for scheduling and flight operations.

This self-service booking system enables Verijet to accept bookings 24/7, reducing customer service demands and increasing the number of booked flights.

The website and booking platform were built using the DNN (DotNetNuke) development framework to ensure long-term scalability. The Verijet team can easily update website content by leveraging structured content modules while maintaining accessibility and brand consistency.

Ongoing Enhancements & Mobile App Development

As Verijet continued to evolve, 10 Pound Gorilla expanded its digital platform to support additional business needs, including developing a native iOS and Android mobile app. The mobile app provides users with:

A seamless flight booking experience
Push notifications and reminders for upcoming flights
Special promotions and flight deals tailored to frequent travelers

The mobile app was designed to operate on the same headless CMS infrastructure as the Verijet website, ensuring data consistency and reducing development overhead. This unified approach allows for efficient updates and feature enhancements across all platforms.

In addition to the mobile expansion, we worked closely with Verijet to develop:

Lead Generation & Marketing Tools – Integrations with digital advertising platforms for enhanced campaign tracking
Referral & Influencer Rewards Program – A system that enables customers to refer friends and family while earning flight credits
Flexible Booking Terms & Policies – Customizable options implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic to adapt to changing travel requirements

Project Successes & Future Growth
