aviationX is set to provide the rapidly growing $350 billion aviation industry with its first neutral and truly dynamic business-to-business electronic commerce network. The company was first to announce its intent to create such a network, first to unveil a prototype and first to announce beta test user agreements with strategic airlines. Headed by a team of former industry executives and designed in conjunction with an airline advisory group, aviationX.com will offer nearly 25,000 buyers, sellers and intermediaries a simple and easy way to conduct commerce, consume content and build community using a secure, dedicated and vertically integrated network. Buyers such as airlines, cargo operators, maintenance facilities and overhaul facilities will use aviationX.com to grow their base of suppliers, find better prices, lower their purchasing costs, and streamline their information needs. Suppliers such as OEM aircraft manufacturers, systems and components makers, overhaul facilities and repair shops will use aviationX.com to expand their marketing reach, grow their customer base and reduce their transaction costs. aviationX.com will offer a host of value-added services, from discussion forums and user group forums to advanced e-commerce applications with decision support capabilities, all fully integrated with users' back-office systems. Like any true marketplace or exchange, aviationX.com will maintain complete neutrality. The company will not own any of the goods or services traded on its system, and it is not affiliated with any one supplier or distributor.
