Aviobase
Aviobase is a rental marketplace for general aviation. Pilots find and book aircraft near them. Owners, clubs, and schools list their fleet and earn from the hours it would otherwise sit idle. Everything in between runs through one platform: the verification, the contract, and the payment.
The problem
Availability lives in someone's head or a paper diary. Booking happens over the phone. Paperwork is printed, signed, and filed. Payment gets sorted out separately, often by bank transfer after the fact. For a pilot who is new to a club or a region, just finding out what's available and what's required can take days.
For the people who own those aircraft, the picture is just as frustrating. A privately owned plane flies a few hours a month and sits the rest of the time. Clubs and schools have capacity they can't easily fill outside their own membership. The demand exists. The mechanism to meet it does not.
What Aviobase does
Pilots search by location, aircraft type, and availability, then book directly. Before anyone flies, the platform verifies what matters: licence, medical, ratings, and currency on the pilot's side, and airworthiness, insurance, and documentation on the aircraft's side.
The rental agreement is generated, signed, and stored digitally. Payments, deposits, and any escrow run through the platform. When the flight is done, both sides leave a review. Over time that builds a record of trust that makes the next booking easier for everyone.
Listing is free. You set your own availability, your own rates, and the type of rental you offer, whether that's dry hire, wet hire, instructional use, or ferry flights. We handle verification and contracts for you, so you're never chasing documents or wondering whether a renter is current. The result is a new, predictable revenue stream from an asset that was already costing you to keep.
You get a clear view of the aircraft available to you, with the requirements stated up front. You skip the cold calls, the guessing about what counts as current, and the wait on paperwork. Book the aircraft, confirm you meet the requirements, and fly.
Aviobase was designed by pilots who have spent enough time on the renting side of the counter to know exactly where it breaks down. Every part of the platform reflects how general aviation actually operates, rather than a generic booking flow with aircraft bolted on.
