●Avinode●Hamilton
Analysis
CharterBlast officially launched May 14, 2026, owned by CrewBlast, with core positioning to let charter operators directly reach end customers, reducing broker intermediation. Diverges from industry leader Avinode (mainly connecting operators with brokers in B2B matching platform; aircraft listing volume continues growing over three years: Middle East +45%, APAC +40%, North America +30%). CharterBlast leverages CrewBlast's geolocation crew dispatching tools forming 'crew dispatch + charter matching' dual-platform coordinated ecosystem. Same period Hamilton AI also adding banking settlement, dispatch, and broker tools to charter platforms — the area is undergoing technology-intensive innovation competition. As new platform, initial operator onboarding scale and pricing model not yet disclosed. Confidence ★★ (KG + news cross-verification).
